Mongolia has an extreme continental climate and being so far inland with no sea to moderate it, you could be in for a surprise. It is said that Mongolia can experience four seasons in a single day. This seems especially true in spring when changeable weather sometimes creates snowstorms intermixed with bouts of wind and sun. One minute you could be walking around in a T-shirt, the next you need a coat and boots. But with about 260 sunny days a year, Mongolia is justifiably known as the 'Land of Blue Sky'. The four seasons are very distinct - winter lasts from November to February, spring from March to mid-May, summer from mid-May until late August, and autumn during September and October. The cold weather in the far north can last a month or two longer than the southern Gobi areas. The highest rainfalls occur in the taiga areas (subarctic coniferous forests of Siberian larch and pine trees) along the northern border, especially Khentii and Khuvsgul.
