Abnormally cold weather will persist in most of Mongolia, the National Agency for Meteorology, Hydrology, and Environmental Monitoring reported on Tuesday.

Temperatures will drop to -38°C in some places from January 13.

Mongolia’s National Emergency Management Agency urged drivers to be careful on rural roads due to heavy snowstorms and zero visibility, and nomadic herders to take extra precautions on pastures.

The air temperature during Mongolian winters can vary from -25°C to -45°C.
