Q: Is a yellowish sky always an indicator of a sandstorm?

A: Not exactly. Only when the sandy and dusty weather reaches a certain intensity can it be called a sandstorm. In meteorology, according to the severity of the impact, the dusty weather can be divided into floating dust, blowing sand, sandstorm, strong sandstorm, and severe sandstorm.
