In August much of Myanmar will be experiencing heavy late afternoon showers as the country is under the influence of the Southwest monsoon.

Many of Myanmar’s beach resorts will have closed for the rainy season, to reopen their doors in November.

Temperatures throughout Myanmar are likely to be in the high twenties and early thirties.

With intense rainfall in some areas of the country, the third quarter of the year isn’t the best time of year to be heading off into rural areas of Myanmar as roads can become impassable.

River levels start to rise during this season, making river cruising in Myanmar a great option during this time of year.
