Since the 26th, yellow dust originating from Mongolia and the Inner Mongolian Plateau in China has been flowing in along the northwest wind, so yellow dust is expected to be observed in most regions nationwide on the 29th. Therefore, the rain falling between the previous night and early morning may be "yellow dust rain," so caution is advised.


Morning temperatures will drop by 2 to 5 degrees compared to the previous day, with morning lows ranging from 4 to 12 degrees Celsius and daytime highs from 13 to 21 degrees Celsius, resulting in a temperature difference of about 10 degrees between day and night.
