Why is Toksun a windy city?

Every spring or autumn is the windy season in Toksun. According to the statistics of Toksun County Meteorological Bureau, in recent years, the windy weather of magnitude 8 or above in Toksun reached 4 to 5 days every year, and it reached 48 days in 21. In the 198s, there were 18 windy days every year in Toksun County. When the wind comes together, it must be flying sand and stones, and the sky is dark.

Zhang Hongxin, general secretary of the Party of the Meteorological Bureau of Toksun County, said that when the Siberian cold air went south, it was blocked by the Tianshan Mountains, and it rained and snowed in the mountains in the north of the Tianshan Mountains, and it was windy in the south of the Tianshan Mountains. Within 3 kilometers of the Tianshan Mountains in the northwest of Toksun County, 18 mountain passes became tuyeres, which concentrated the volume of the wind and increased its energy. As soon as it reached the plains of Toksun, it was like a tiger swooping down and sweeping Toksun.

Xinjiang is a windy area in China, and it is known as nine windy areas. However, because other windy areas are no man's land, Toksun windy area has a large population and cultivated land, which has become a famous "windy city" in Xinjiang and even in China.
