Mongolia is forecast to experience colder-than-average temperatures and above-normal snowfall across much of the country in November, according to the National Agency for Meteorology and Environmental Monitoring.
Western Provinces
Average air temperatures are expected to be around or slightly below normal, with colder conditions likely in northern parts of Zavkhan and Bayankhongor provinces. Precipitation will generally be near or above seasonal averages, particularly in northern and eastern Zavkhan.
The beginning of the month will be relatively mild, while early and late periods of the second and third ten-day spans may bring temperatures 1–3°C below average. Snowfall is expected mainly in mountainous regions, with widespread snow and strong winds likely in mid and late November.
Central Provinces
Central Mongolia will see colder-than-average conditions and more precipitation than usual. Temperatures could be 1–3°C below normal through much of the second and third ten-day periods.
Snow is forecast early in the month in mountainous areas, and widespread snowstorms are possible in the middle and end of the month, accompanied by strong winds and drifting snow.
Eastern Provinces
Eastern regions, including Khentii and Dornod, will also experience below-average temperatures. Northern parts of these provinces may see above-normal snowfall, while other areas will remain near seasonal averages.
Temperatures will fluctuate — slightly warmer than average at the start and end of the month, but colder by 1–3°C during mid-November. Snow and occasional blizzards are likely around mid-month.
Gobi Provinces
The Gobi Desert provinces will be slightly colder than average, except in western Ömnögovi, where temperatures will remain near normal. Precipitation is expected to be below average in eastern Ömnögovi and most of Dornogovi, and near normal elsewhere.
Temperatures will vary between 1–3°C above normal early and late in the month, and below normal during mid-November. Occasional light snow and dust storms are possible, especially in the middle ten-day period.
