According to the Fukuoka District Meteorological Agency, yellow sand has been observed in northern China, with visibility in some areas less than 2 kilometers.

The Meteorological Agency is calling for caution as there may be impacts on transportation if visibility falls below 5 kilometers due to the effects of yellow sand adhesion. Source: NHK
