Short summary

Dust storms threaten health, travel and farming, but the conditions that prepare them may change with season. We studied eight 2024 storms in the Taklimakan Desert using two towers, weather records and air-path tracking. Spring storms were mainly prepared by strong regional pressure differences, while summer storms showed stronger early ground heating, followed by rising winds just before they began. Local terrain altered these signals. The results may improve seasonal dust-storm warnings.
