May weather forecast
Mongolia

May in Mongolia signifies the culmination of spring and the advent of summer. It is a month of significant change, as the chill in the air gives way to warmth and the landscapes flourish with verdant greenery. In the northern and central regions, including Ulaanbaatar, temperatures usually fluctuate between 10°C (50°F) to 20°C (68°F). The southern parts of Mongolia and the Gobi Desert experience slightly higher temperatures, typically between 15°C (59°F) to 25°C (77°F).

The rise in temperature is generally steady, with the nights warming up and the occasional cold spells becoming less frequent. Snowfall becomes a rarity, and the country largely remains free of snow throughout the month. Rainfall starts to increase slightly but remains relatively low, marking the shift from the dry spring to a wetter summer season.

Wind conditions in May continue to mellow, with winds less severe compared to the preceding months. The weather becomes increasingly predictable and stable, leading to better travel conditions across the country.

As May transitions into June, temperatures continue their upward trajectory, signaling the true onset of summer. The landscapes become lush and vibrant, and the days become longer, providing ample sunlight. Consequently, May serves as a bridge between the mild spring and the warm summer, embracing the warmth of the approaching summer months while bidding farewell to the spring season.
