March weather forecast
Mongolia

The arrival of March in Mongolia signals the beginning of the transition from winter to spring, albeit at a slow pace. Despite the lingering cold from the winter months, temperatures start to rise gradually. In the northern and central regions, including Ulaanbaatar, temperatures can range from -15°C (5°F) to -5°C (23°F). The southern regions and the Gobi Desert, on the other hand, see temperatures fluctuating between -5°C (23°F) to 5°C (41°F), with the warming trend more pronounced during the day.

Though March ushers in slightly milder temperatures, occasional cold spells can still occur, often dipping the mercury back into the frigid winter-like conditions. The snow that covered the landscapes throughout the winter months begins to melt, although the process is slow and largely dependent on the actual warming trend of the season.

Wind conditions in March are noteworthy, as the country often experiences strong winds, known as 'dzud'. These winds, combined with the still chilly temperatures, can lead to harsh conditions, especially in the open steppe and desert regions.

As March transitions into April, temperatures continue to rise more noticeably, with the true arrival of spring. The increase in temperature reduces the frequency and intensity of the 'dzud' winds, leading to less severe weather conditions. In essence, March stands as a month of transition, where the harsh winter gradually yields to the milder spring, laying the groundwork for the warmer months ahead.
