Mongolian winter starts roughly from December to February. However, waves of arctic air from north half of Siberia invaded the northwest half of Mongolia from Nov 16 and it will bring the coldest weather in Mongolia during Nov 17-25th. It will be the record-breaking cold weather that occured in November over the last ten years, reported by S.Enkhtuvshin, the Head of Meteorology and Environmental Monitoring Department.
On these days, wind will reach 18-20 m/s and sometimes it will reach 24 m/s in Western aimags on Nov 16 and most regions on Nov 17-18. Thus, the residents are warned of risk of frostbite. Due to strong snow and dust storms, roads will be closed.
Freezing night temperature in Uvs lake, Ider, Tes river basins, Darkhad hollow will reach -42C to -47C and Selenge, Kharaa, Yuruu, Onon, Ulz, Tuul and Terelj river basins will reach -30C to -40C.
The penetrating cold can cause problems to the livestock grazing, road and railway transport, energy and heat supply.
