FUKUOKA - Yellow dust is forecast to reach Fukuoka from the morning of November 25th through November 26th, prompting the city to urge residents—particularly those with respiratory or allergy-related conditions—to take precautions such as wearing masks when going outdoors.
According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, the dust is expected to move into the region from the morning of November 25th. In response, Fukuoka City announced that visibility may deteriorate significantly, falling below five kilometres in the afternoon and under ten kilometres in the morning and overnight.
