The weather

the weather and climate of Mongolia are characterized by its unique geographical location and topography. As you mentioned, Mongolia is situated in the center of the Eurasian continent, far from any coastal influences. The country is surrounded by high mountains, such as the Altai, Khangai, and Khentii ranges, which further contribute to its climatic patterns.

Mongolia experiences an extreme and harsh continental climate with distinct four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Let’s take a closer look at each season:

Spring (March to May): Spring in Mongolia is characterized by a gradual transition from cold winter to warmer temperatures. However, the weather can still be quite unpredictable, with occasional snowfall and temperature fluctuations.

Summer (June to August): The summer season in Mongolia is relatively short but can be hot and dry. Average temperatures can range from comfortable to high, with some areas experiencing temperatures above 30°C (86°F). It is the season with the most rainfall, although rainfall amounts can still be relatively low.

Autumn (September to November): Autumn brings cooler temperatures, especially towards the latter part of the season. It is known for its vibrant colors as the vegetation changes, with golden and red hues covering the landscapes. The weather is generally pleasant, with clear skies and mild temperatures during the day.

It’s important to note that Mongolia’s climate can vary significantly across its vast territory due to its size and diverse geographical features. The southern regions tend to be drier and hotter, while the northern parts are colder and receive more precipitation.
