Yellow sand is expected to occur in eastern Japan on the 26th, and in northern Japan from the 26th to the 27th. The top image is a forecast map of the Japan Meteorological Agency’s analysis of yellow dust, which shows the total amount of yellow dust in the atmosphere. It is predicted that yellow dust will cover eastern and northern Japan from the 26th.

Yellow dust is expected in eastern Japan on the 26th, and in northern Japan from the 26th to the 27th, with visibility expected to be less than 10 kilometers. Visibility is expected to be less than 5 kilometers in some places.

▼In the Kanto-Koshin region, yellow sand is expected over a wide area on the 26th.
▼In the Tokai region, yellow sand is expected on the 26th.
▼ Yellow sand is expected in the Hokkaido and Tohoku regions from the 26th to the 27th.

In the Japan Meteorological Agency’s simulation image showing the “concentration of yellow dust near the ground” from the 25th to the 28th, orange-colored areas showing relatively thick yellow dust can be seen in eastern and northern Japan from the 26th to the 27th.

Outdoors, impacts such as yellow dust are expected in some places. Also, please be aware that if the visibility is less than 5 kilometers, there is a risk of disruption to traffic. (Visibility is the distance that you can see in the horizontal direction.)

The Japan Meteorological Agency’s yellow sand simulation images (25th to 28th) are posted as images.
