Data on snow cover indicate that the highest amounts are recorded in the soums of Khovd, Zavkhan, Tsetsen-Uul, and Khövsgöl, where the maximum snow depth reaches 30-40 cm. Over the past ten days, the snow level has decreased by 5 percent.
It is also worth noting that the thickness of ice in rivers and lakes varies from 5 to 50 cm, which is less than the average figures for the same period in 2025 and for many previous years.
