You can travel to Myanmar any time of year, but the best time to go depends on the weather and your own travel style. It's three main seasons in the country: cool, hot, and monsoon. Each one is different. The cool season, to November to February, is the best time to visit Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay, and Inle Lake as the climate is beautiful. It is great for sightseeing, cultural tours, and outdoor activities if you plan your trip successfully. From March to May, the weather is warmer, but it's a good time for travelers that hope to avoid tourist attractions get better hotel interactions. The monsoon season, that maintains from June to October, turns countryside into rich green fields, so it's a peaceful and beautiful place to travel. Visitors enjoy a smooth and fun trip all year long with carefully planned tour plans that combine culture, nature, and comfort for a memorable holiday in Myanmar.
It’s hot and humid between March and May, with temperatures often topping the mercury at 40+°C. If you like your atmosphere hot, sticky, and arid, then head inland to the central plains to Bagan or Mandalay, where Burma’s highest temperatures are recorded.
Burma has a tropical climate, which isn’t too dissimilar from that of its neighbours. The southwest monsoon brings heavy rainfall from May to October, with the worst rains usually falling from July to September, when roads, which are mostly made up of dirt passes, become impassable. The Ayeyarwady delta and the coast are generally the worst hit areas – though if you’re sticking to the central plains, you’ll see far less rain.
From October onwards, the rains subside, and we generally advise you to visit Burma from November to February, when temperatures are more manageable, and you’re far less likely to encounter severe rainfalls.
