The climate of Mongolia is continental and extreme.
Atmospheric pressures are among the highest on earth. Sunshine is intense and clouds cover the sky practically only in summer. 280 days of full sun per year gave Mongolia its nickname of the Country of Blue Skies.
Ulaanbaatar holds the record of the coldest capital of the planet. Winters are long and harsh (record 2001: - 57°C) and may literally start at the end of September. Rivers or lakes can remain cold until June. Generally, there is not much snow in winter except the two extreme winters of 1999 and 2000 that brought heavy snow falls and caused adverse grazing conditions for livestock (known as dzud).
Thermal amplitudes are significant throughout the year (record: 87°C). Day and night time temperatures fluctuate within a large range. Wide variations are common even during the day. In autumn and spring, the temperature may often rise from - 5°C at the dawn to + 30°C in the afternoon in full sunshine.
