Constant rain showers and thunderstorms are striking in Mongolia and Ulaanbaatar city during last two weeks. Due to the lack of the drain pipes and engineering system in Ulaanbaatar city streets after some rain showers streets are easily flooded. There are even sarcastic posts on social media "Sudden improvement of life and living on a lake shore".
Ulaanbaatar city roads and streets were flooded after brief rain showers with hail which started at sround 2PM today. Road behind the 1st microdistrict as usual was flooded and two cars were stuck in the middle of the water. Some of the buildings seemed like lone island in the middle of the ocean.
“Previously, it wouldn't get flooded this much. After new road has been constructe, all the water from the Bayangol district is running towards this area, although there are draining pipes installed they are constantly being overflooded. I cannot imagine what will happen if the rain have continued for an hour, as this is what happens only after 20 minutes of rain. We do complain to the authorities, but with no success" were the words of a resident, who wished to stay anonymous.
Хотын төвийн гудамж талбай ч усанд автлаа. 25-р эмийн сангийн орчим
