Does anyone know a reliable website that forecasts when and where it is going to hit? I was really unprepared last year and spent about a week with an upper respiratory infection.

Of course it would be nice if the information were in English, but I could wrangle my way through a Korean site if need be.

Thanks a bunch.

I don't, but I remember a few people last year were posting stuff a day or two before. Sometimes though it hits us by surprise if the winds change quickly.

I really don't mind Spring and Fall in Korea. Last year I got really sick from the dust storm so becareful.

During one yellow dust storm, I was having trouble breathing in my bedroom.
I stood up, took a deep breath, and later woke up from a coma, finding myself lying on the floor.
When I looked in the mirror, I found that I had a sore on my forehead from falling on the floor.

When people asked me about the sore in my forehead, I told them that Voldemort tried to kill me.

i check the weather out on naver.com; they usually mention the yellow sands in their forecast, if a couple of days' notice is okay for you. but like the other poster said, the winds can change, and it can be just as unpredictable as any weather system.
