Windblown Dust Advisory issued amid Coachella music festival
The rest of weekend one at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival might be a little dustier than usual.
The South Coast Air Quality Management District issued a Windblown Dust Advisory for the Coachella Valley and Eastern Riverside County on Saturday morning. The advisory runs from 1 p.m. Saturday to 11 p.m. Sunday.
The air quality can potentially be unhealthy for sensitive groups during that time frame.
Gusty winds in the area are contributing to the dustiness in the area as tens of thousands gather for the first weekend of the yearly music festival. The winds are lifting dust and soil into the air, the AQMD said.
The District advised those sensitive to lower air qualities to limit exposure to the unhealthy air and avoid vigorous physical activity.
The first weekend of Coachella is set to continue Saturday with Tyler, The Creator as the headliner. Doja Cat will wrap weekend one up as Sunday’s headliner.
