When to go to Myanmar?

Myanmar has a tropical climate with three distinct seasons: the cool season from November to February which is dry; the hot season from March to May with average temperatures in the 30s and occasionally over 40C; the rainy season from May to the beginning of October with frequent short rainstorms and humidity.  The rains are rarely long enough to disrupt sight-seeing plans. 

For those heading to the beaches, the coast has two distinctive seasons: Dry and Rainy.  During the rainy season (April-September), most resorts and restaurants close down entirely and the flight schedule is severely limited.  The dry season is delightful with sunny skies, warm ocean breezes, and temperatures around 30-34 Celsius during the day time. 

The following is a guide to the best of the best of Myanmar filled with ideas for travel sightseeing and accommodation with a few insider tips along the way.
