Mongolia's National Agency for Meteorology and Environmental Monitoring on Thursday issued a warning of strong winds, dust storms, rain and wet snow.
Strong winds and yellow dust storms are expected to hit large parts of Mongolia, including the country's southern Gobi desert provinces such as Umnugovi, Dundgovi and Dornogovi, from Friday to Saturday, with an average wind speed estimated at 14 to 16 meters per second, said the weather monitoring agency.
Meanwhile, a mix of rain and wet snow will sweep the Altai Mountains in the west and southwest and the Khangai Mountains in central and north-central Mongolia, starting from the night of Oct. 3.
In this regard, the country's meteorological agency warned the residents of Ulan Bator and 21 provinces, including nomadic herders, to take extra precautions against possible disasters.
Mongolia is known for its harsh continental climate, marked by long, frigid winters and short summers.
