It is predicted that from March 10 to 12, under the influence of the Mongolian cyclone and the ground cold front, there will be a severe sandstorm weather process in Mongolia from west to east. In some areas mentioned above, temperatures will drop by 6 to 8 degrees Celsius, with local areas experiencing temperature drops exceeding 12 degrees Celsius, accompanied by winds of 6 to 7 levels, with gusts reaching 10 to 11 levels. Local authorities should take precautions against the adverse effects of this high wind and sandstorm process on animal husbandry and other sectors.
