2. What caused the fires in many places in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei?

According to China Weather Network on the evening of March 18, Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and other areas are experiencing the strongest winds this year today. Gusts in northern North China may reach level 9 to 10, accompanied by sandstorms. Currently, strong winds are hitting Beijing, with the local maximum instantaneous wind speed reaching Level 11. Previously, strong wind warning signals have been issued in Beijing, Hebei, Liaoning, Shandong and other places. Therefore, the fire may have been caused by strong winds.

Meteorological analysts from China Weather Network analyzed that the primary reason for the strong wind was the passage of an upper-altitude trough, which resulted in a very large pressure gradient between the warm low pressure and the cold high pressure; secondly, the passage of the front happened to be in the afternoon, when the ground temperature was high, which easily formed convection and turbulence, and was conducive to the energy exchange between the upper and lower layers of the atmosphere, resulting in downward momentum and larger gusts.

China Weather Network reminds that cold air and strong winds will bring sandstorm weather. During the day today, there will be blowing sand or dust weather in central Inner Mongolia, central and northern Hebei, Beijing, northern Shanxi, northern Shaanxi, and the southern Xinjiang Basin. There will be sandstorms in some parts of central Inner Mongolia, so please take precautions. In addition, the meteorological level of forest fire risk is high in some areas of North China, and it is necessary to strengthen forest inspections and fire management to prevent fires.
