			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The country of Mongolia is situated thousands of miles away from the nearest ocean. Consequently its climate is an extreme form of continental climate with hot summers and very cold winters. The winters in Mongolia are very long and severe with the minimum temperatures at night often falling to -40 F (-40 C) or below. Even the high temperatures are in the range of -4 F ( -20 C). Cold Siberian winds are blowing most of the time at this time of the year. In summer, the weather turns to the other extreme. The land gets hot very quickly and with no sea influence in the vicinity, the mid day thermometer can exceed 95 F (35 C) in midsummer. So Mongolia has a very wide range of temperature indeed.</p>
<p>The precipitation in Mongolia is very scanty. Most part of the country getting less than 15 inches (381 mm) of precipitation. Most precipitation falls in July and August. The precipitation is more in the North and less in the south. So much so that the great Gobi desert to the south gets less than 10 inches ( 250 mm) of precipitation and is one of the driest regions of the world. Only Bactrian camels survive in this type of climate and it is the principal beast of burden in this area. In short Mongolia has a very harsh climate with great variations between summer and winter climate. The best months to visit Mongolia are July and August when temperature are not so hot and the air is less dry.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you hear the word Mongolia, no doubt the Mongol Empire in the excellent basic Genghis Khan comes to thoughts.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When most people think of Mongolia, Genghis Khan is among the first things that come to mind. That and cold barren wasteland containing more livestock than humans. But now, Mongolia is becoming known for something else &#8211; foreign investment.</p>
<p>Seasoned overseas property investors know the time to invest in a housing market is before the rush. This fact means that some emerging markets may have not quite developed in terms of infrastructure. When economic indications show that improvements are on its way coupled with demand for housing investors need to sit up and pay attention. Profits are made on the purchase price and buying real estate before the demand can be a rewarding business.</p>
<p>The potential for growth over time is great, as the housing market has not caught up with demand. Roughly half of the Mongolians who live in the capital city of Ulan Bator still live in traditional nomadic dwelling called ger. And despite building 3,500 units last year, there is a shortage of residential units available.</p>
<p>Between the influx of foreign personnel and the demands of the native population, it is unlikely that the housing market will suffer from oversupply of units anytime soon. Residential development is not occurring that quickly, and the market has not become a focus for foreign investment. And since demand will almost certainly continue to outstrip development over the next few years, returns on invest will probably remain solid over that time.</p>
<p>This means that opportunities for foreign investment in and development of residential units could prove to be lucrative over the long haul. And in fact, capital growth of property prices and strong rental returns has begun to draw foreign investors from Britain. The Times newspaper from the UK reports that high property costs at home are encouraging investors to look abroad for better returns on their investments. And some of those investors are looking at countries such as Mongolia.</p>
