Abstract. Analysis of weather conditions in the highland region of Munku-Sardyk based on meteorological data from the Orlik and Mondy meteorological stations in order to identify their impact on the current dynamics of the behavior of glacial-nival, permafrost and glacial formations for the period of 2025 due to changes in weather conditions during the year.

Keywords: weather, analysis of meteorological data, minimum night temperatures, maximum daytime temperatures, precipitation, nival-glacial-permafrost formations, aufeis, Munku-Sardyk
