Mongolia is a country located in East and Central Asia, bordered by Russia and China. Mongolia has a continental climate, characterized by long, cold winters and short, mild summers. In the winter months temperatures can drop as low as -45°C in some areas, while in the summer months (June-August), temperatures typically range between 20-30°C but can reach 40°C in the Gobi Desert. Mongolia's average annual temperature is therefore barely above freezing!
Mongolia also experiences large temperature variations between day and night, with temperatures sometimes dropping to freezing at night even in the summer. The climate in Mongolia is also influenced by its mountainous terrain, with higher elevations experiencing colder temperatures and more precipitation.
