Heavy Snow Sweeps Mongolia as Parliament Fails to Form Coal Oversight Panel

Lawmakers postponed a proposed Uhaa Khudag/offtake review after three split votes.

Overview

  • Meteorological services warned of heavy snow and blizzards across central and eastern regions on November 7–8, with Selenge’s Orkhon and Orkhontuul stations logging 14.0 mm overnight.
  • Emergency responders handled three storm-related missing-person cases, rescuing two individuals and recovering one fatality in Dornod’s Bayan-Uul.
  • MIAT adjusted multiple November 7 flights because visibility deteriorated at Chinggis Khaan International Airport, while Ulaanbaatar’s Chingeltei district deployed 75 workers and 15 machines for road clearance and de-icing.
  • A 10‑day outlook calls for repeated snowfall, stronger winds in exposed areas, and a marked temperature drop across much of the country between November 7 and 17.
  • Police completed their probe into a July assault near Children’s 100 and forwarded an indictment package to prosecutors, who are reviewing the case before any court filing.
