Icy winds make life unpleasant even though snowfall is rare, apart from in the western mountains.

What to pack for Mongolia weather

Although there are periods of winter sunshine, very heavy clothing is recommended. Even in the summer, you'll need warm clothing. Rainfall is generally low, but most likely to occur between June and September, in the period of China's summer monsoon. So go prepared for rain at this time.
