Climate

Dundgobi province is situated in the south of the country about 240 km from capital city Ulaanbaatar. It has largely semi-arid steppe and low height hills. Temperatures in the summer may top 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius), while winter temperatures may dip below -22 degrees Fahrenheit (-30 degrees Celsius). Precipitation is scarce, and air humidity is low.

Seasonal climatic problems include spring sandstorms and winter zud.

Transportation

There is no commercial air transport to the Dundgobi province. Public transportation includes bus but many of the more rural sums are not on the mass transport lines. Much travel is done via mikrs (micro-bus or Russian furgon) or by private jeeps.

Many locals own 250 cc motorcycles, which they use as their main mode of transportation.

Local Economy

The province's main industry is animal husbandry and livestock products (such as wool, cashmere). The Dundgobi province is also noted among Mongolian locals for its airag (fermented horse milk), a traditional Mongolian alcoholic drink.
