After taking some pictures of the staff’s office at the end of the day, I walked outside and got to experience the first Hwangsa (yellow sand) of the year.

Sandstorms and/or duststorms that are affecting the Korean peninsula occur most frequently in the spring season in the arid and semi-arid area of sand deserts including Badainjaran, Tengger, Mu Us, Hunsandakue and Keoeolchin, Gobi region and Loess Plateau in the Asian continent.

The area of Asian dust source regions cover most of northern China and Mongolia. The traveling low-pressure systems accompanied with strong winds behind the associated cold fronts cause to raise dust into the atmosphere (Yellow Sand) resulting in visibility reduction of less than 1 ㎞ quite frequently.
