While most provinces experience the typical scorching summer heat this month, some regions will be relatively colder and breezier, reported the National Agency for Meteorology and Environmental Monitoring. Here are June forecasts for each region.

Thunderstorms to hit western region with cold wind

Meteorologists predict that there will be brief rain showers in the southern part of Bayan-Ulgii, eastern part of Uvs, northern Govi-Altai, northwest of Bayankhongor, and most of Zavkhan. People who live in these regions are advised to brace for thunderstorms in the beginning and end of the first 10 days of the month, end of the second 10 days, and beginning and end of the third 10 days. During rain shower, the wind speed will stay moderate around 12 to 14 meters per second, but will likely reach 18 to 20 meters per second when there’s a thunderstorm. The temperature will fluctuate between 19 and 24 degrees Celsius during the day and between five to 10 degrees Celsius at night in early and late June but peak at 34 degrees Celsius in mid-June.

Central region to reach 35°C

After windy and cold 10 days, most of the central region will experience a relatively hot summer with temperatures rising 0.5 to one percentage points higher than the annual average. Khangai and Khuvsgul mountainous ranges will have daytime temperatures of 15 to 20 degrees Celsius and night time temperatures of three to eight degrees Celsius in the first 10 days and later in the month. However, it will become warmer by two to five degrees Celsius in mid-June. In mid-June, the temperature will reach 35 degrees Celsius during the day and 19 degrees Celsius at night around Orkhon-Selenge Valley.
