Best Time of Year to Visit Myanmar


Pic title: Temples of Bagan, Myanmar (Link)
There are three seasons in Myanmar: the hot season, the Monsoon season, and the cool season. The hot season in Myanmar lasts from early March to late May, the Monsoon season in Myanmar runs from the late May to mid October, and the cool season in Myanmar runs from late October to late February.

The best time to visit Myanmar is the cool season, as temperatures can climb very high in the hot season and the rains can interrupt sightseeing in Myanmar's Monsoon season. In the cool season, temperatures in Yangon hover around 17 degrees Celsius.

Mandalay and Bagan can be visited in the Monsoon season, as those parts of Myanmar only get light showers. Yangon gets much more rain during the Monsoon season in Myanmar, and therefore the best time of year to visit Yangon is the cool season.

The best time of year to visit Myanmar's northern region is during the hot season, as it remains cooler there throughout the year. During the cool season, the northern region averages a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius.
