A dusty couple of days in store for the Kanto Plain

It's set to be a dusty couple of days across the Kanto Plain, with the JMA putting out an advisory that high levels of yellow dust will be present over April 21st and 22nd. It's meant to be at its worst later today (Tuesday) through to Wednesday morning.

It's worth making a few small adjustments during this timeframe if you can, such as limiting extended time outdoors, especially if you're sensitive to dust. Wearing a mask can help, and keeping laundry inside will save you from an extra wash cycle. You might also want to hold off on cleaning your car, since dry wiping can scratch the surface!
