Mongolia is high, cold and dry. It has an extreme continental climate with long, cold winters and short summers, during which most precipitation falls. The country averages 257 cloudless days a year and it is usually at the center of a region of high atmospheric pressure. Precipitation is highest in the north, which averages 20 to 35 centimeters per year and lowest in the south, which receives 10 to 20 centimeters.The extreme south is the Gobi, and some of its regions receive no precipitation at all in most years. The name Gobi is a Mongol name meaning desert, depression, salt marsh or steppe, but which usually refers to a category of arid rangelands with insufficient vegetation to support marmots but with enough to support camels. Mongols distinguish gobi from desert proper, although the distinction is not always apparent to outsiders unfamiliar with the Mongolian landscape. Gobi rangelands are fragile and are easily destroyed by overgrazing, which results in expansion of the true desert, a stony waste where not even Bactrian camels can survive.
Average temperatures over most of the country are below freezing from November through to March and are about 0 degrees Celsius in April and October. January and February averages of -20 degrees Celsius are common, with winter nights of -40 degrees Celsius most of the time. 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. Ulaanbaatar lies at 1,351 meters above sea level in the valley of the Tuul Gol river. Located in the relatively well-watered north, it receives an annual average of 31 centimeters of precipitation, most of which occurs in July and August. Ulaanbaatar has an average annual temperature of 2.9 degrees Celsius and a frost-free period extending on the average from mid-June to late August.
