Many counties and cities have broken through the extreme value of the same period of rainfall in the past year, and even the rainfall in individual counties and cities has increased by 7 times compared with the same period in previous years.

According to the reporter's observation, due to the rainy weather, the vegetation in the arid areas of Kashi has been improved. There is a green layer in the black Gobi between Shache county and Shaxian County, and the local vegetation is full of vitality.

In addition, the air quality in Kashi area is obviously better than in previous years due to repeated precipitation. The sky is blue and the dust in the air is obviously reduced.
