Watch Out, Sand-ageddon in Beijing Wednesday (Apr 15)

Tonight, expect the amazing whirlwind mix of sandstorm and thunderstorm as Beijing’s temperature rises to a maximum of 25.8 degrees celcius for the hottest day of the year so far, iFeng reports.

Great, nothing better than getting struck by lightning as your eyeballs are battling the sand.

JxNews reports that the sandstorm will begin around the afternoon, as PM10 levels are going to get higher around the afternoon with wind gusts of between force 6 and 7, and up to 9. After this comes the rain and lightning, expected to continue until late in the night.

This is a short blog, because weather reports are boring, but we thought everyone should know so that you can be safe out there (and close your windows)!
