Mean annual temperature varies from -7° C in the north to +6° C in the south of Amur River Basin. Mean January temperatures range from -12 to -32° C, but on the Pacific coast they are 10° C higher, moderated by the influence of the Seas of Okhotsk and Japan. Arctic weather patterns from Siberia influence Mongolia and most of the upper part of the basin; the areas are much less effected by monsoons from the remote Pacific coast. Thus, Mongolia has a dry, continental climate. Mean annual air temperature varies from +0.50 to 30 C. Monthly mean temperature in January is between -20 to -240 C and the monthly mean temperature in July is +160 to +220 C. The lowest temperature is -400 to -470 C and the warmest is +390 to +400 C. The annual temperature amplitude may reach 700 C. |
