The best time to go to Mongolia is from May to September. The climate of Mongolia is continental, with short, hot and rainy summers, and long, very harsh winters (average temperature of -24 °C). Because of the average altitude of the country, the temperature variations can be very important from one day to another. The country has an average of 250 days of sunshine per year. Ulaanbaatar is the coldest capital in the world. The high tourist season in Mongolia is from mid-June to mid-September. Beyond that, the temperatures are too cold....

THE WINTER

From November to February, the Mongolian winter has extreme temperatures. On average, the thermostat shows -24°C but can go down to -40°C. Snowfalls are frequent, but light, except in the north of the country. Nevertheless, some winters are affected by white züds , heavy snowfalls that make grazing impossible, exposing animals to hunger and cold. Between 2000 and 2002, three consecutive winters were hit by particularly deadly züds that caused the death of 11 million head of livestock and affected thousands of herders and their families, risking starvation and poverty.

Despite the unfavorable climatic conditions for tourism, the most experienced travelers will be able to travel in Mongolia in winter with the right equipment and a good physical condition.

AUTUMN AND SPRING

The intermediate seasons are particularly short in Mongolia, with the transition from summer to winter taking place in a matter of weeks. Thus, autumn begins as early as September and ends in October, and spring extends from March to mid-May.

If the weather is very changeable in Mongolia, this statement is particularly true during these two periods. Both spring and autumn have extreme climatic variations: the temperature can go down and up by about ten degrees in a few hours. One can experience the four seasons in the space of a day!

THE SUMMER

From mid-May to the end of August, summer is undoubtedly the most favorable season for tourism, despite the precipitation that is encountered. The latter, if they are concentrated on the months of July and August, remain generally of short duration, except in the north of the country, around the lake Khovsgol, where it can rain for days.
