ULAN BATOR, Feb. 7 (Xinhua) -- Ulan Bator, the capital of Mongolia, experienced its coldest night of the season as temperatures plummeted to a frigid minus 37 degrees Celsius from Thursday to Friday, according to the National Agency for Meteorology and Environmental Monitoring.
This marks the lowest temperature recorded in the city so far this winter, the agency reported in a statement on Friday.
Mongolia is renowned for its extreme winter conditions, largely influenced by the Siberian high-pressure system.

According to the weather agency, most parts of Mongolia are expected to experience colder-than-average temperatures throughout the winter. ■
