=__Weather/Climate__ = ====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Mongolia is high in elevation, cold, and dry. It has an extreme continental climate with long, cold winters and short hot summers. Most precipitation falls in the summer. Precipitation occurs highest in Northern Mongolia which averages 20 to 35cm a year, and lowest in the south, which receives 10 to 20 centimeters. Average temperatures covering most of the country are below freezing from November through March and are almost freezing in April and October. January and February averages of -20° C are fairly common, with winter nights of -40° F occuring often. More than half the country is covered by permafrost, which makes construction, road building, and mining difficult. All rivers and freshwater lakes freeze over in the winter, and smaller streams commonly freeze to the bottom. If you are ever visiting or passing through Mongolia during these cold times, be sure to bring warm clothing. ==== <span class="TextRun SCX7700825" style="font-family: Calibri,Sans-Serif; font-size: 15px;">media type="custom" key="11199530"
