Beijing is set to experience a light sandstorm or dust storm from 16:00 on March 26, 2025, to 02:00 on March 27, 2025, according to the latest weather forecast. Residents are advised to take necessary precautions, such as wearing protective masks and avoiding prolonged outdoor activities during this period.
In addition, the Beijing Forest Fire Prevention Office has issued an orange alert for forest fire risks due to expected strong winds from 16:00 on March 26, 2025, to 12:00 on March 30, 2025.

What to Do During a Sandstorm:
Stay indoors and keep windows and doors closed.
Wear protective masks, goggles, and cover exposed skin when going outside.
Avoid driving unless necessary, as visibility may be reduced.
Use air purifiers or wet towels to filter dust indoors.
Keep pets and vulnerable individuals, such as children and the elderly, safe inside.
What to Do to Prevent Forest Fires:
Do not bring lighters, matches, or other ignition sources into forested areas.
Avoid outdoor activities that involve fire, such as barbecuing or burning trash.
Report any signs of fire immediately by calling emergency hotlines 12119 or 119.
Follow local government guidelines and cooperate with fire prevention personnel.
If a forest fire is detected, individuals should report it immediately by calling emergency hotlines 12119 or 119.
The government emphasizes the importance of swift action in preventing and controlling wildfires to ensure public safety and environmental protection.
Stay informed and stay safe during this period of heightened weather and fire risks
