Overview
- The national forecast warns of heavy rain, thunderstorms and very strong winds in multiple regions, with sustained gusts reported up to about 24 m/s in some areas.
- Ulaanbaatar is expected to see cloudy skies with light rain and gusty west–northwest winds of roughly 8–13 m/s, reducing but not eliminating local flood risk.
- The city's storm-drain program was revised from 19 to 17 priority sites because two designs conflicted with existing structures, and installations are finished at 10 of those locations.
- Work around the Hünnü 2222 neighbourhood is complete with 330 metres of reinforced-concrete drain and pavement restoration, and authorities have identified a viral flooding video as older (2023) footage.
- The municipal budget allocates ₮26.5 billion for new drains at 12 sites and ₮1 billion for cleaning and maintenance of drainage wells, measures officials say will lower repeated summer waterlogging and ease pressure on emergency services.
