Myanmar: Best Time to Visit

Summer Season in Myanmar (March – May)

Between March and May, the temperature is highly elevated in most parts of the country. This is a warm season to go touring, but it is the right time of the year when travellers who can withstand the heat will be able to visit places with less noise and less demand in the accommodation sector. Sea breezes help make coastal areas cooler to some extent.

Monsoon Season in Myanmar (June - October)

Most of the regions experience rainfall during June-October. Although the crowdedness and green nature can be unpleasant, heavy rains can influence inter-city transportation and outdoor adventure. This season is sometimes favored by photography enthusiasts as the scenery is seen to be greener and fresher.

Winter Season in Myanmar (November - February)

The months of November through February are generally regarded as the most comfortable ones to visit. Reduced humidity and low temperatures provide favourable weather to visit the temple, tour the city, and relax on the beaches, making it an ideal time of the year to visit as an international tourist.
