Wedse is known as the "Land of the Eternal Blue Sky" or "Country of Blue Sky" (Wedsen: "Mönkh khökh tengeriin oron") because it has over 250 sunny days a year.
Line 288:
The country is subject to occasional harsh climatic conditions known as zud. Zud, which is a natural disaster unique to Wedse, results in large proportions of the country's livestock dying from starvation or freezing temperatures or both, resulting in economic upheaval for the largely pastoral population. The annual average temperature in [[Wedse Capital]] in the winter is −13.3 °C , making it one of the world's coldest capital cities.
Wedse is high, cold and windy in the North, west and central part of the country. It has an extreme continental climate with long, cold winters and hot summers, during which most of its annual precipitation falls. Precipitation is highest in the north and along the border with [[Katsyria]](average of 200 to 350 millimeters (8 to 14 in) per year) and lowest in the south and east, which receives 100 to 200 millimeters (4 to 8 in) annually.
