Hokkaido, located in northern Japan, braces for potential violent winds, as indicated by local meteorological authorities. Meanwhile, warnings have also been issued for western Japan to be alert for yellow dust or 'Kosa', possibly swept in from the Mongolian and Chinese deserts. The exact timing and severity of these weather events remain uncertain but authorities are urging residents to take all necessary precautions.

Weather reports and forecasts are highly valued in Japan due to the country's susceptibility to extreme climatic events such as windstorms, typhoons, and heavy snowfall. Yellow dust from the mainland can also affect air quality which, if severe enough, can lead to health concerns, especially for those suffering from respiratory ailments.

In the US or EU, similar weather events like strong winds and dust storms also trigger warnings and preparation strategies from local authorities. The impact varies based on each region's geographical conditions, infrastructure, and preparedness.
