The mercury is rising in April as the monsoon starts to build up and head inexorably towards the coast of Burma. April is a month of high temperatures and high humidity across Myanmar. Temperatures regularly in the mid thirties can be expected at this time of year. Light cotton clothing and plenty of drinking water is essential for touring around Myanmar at this time of year.

Touring Myanmar is still a good option at this time of year, and the central plains and southern coast should have hot sunny cloudless days. This is a great time to be in one of the beach resorts in Myanmar.

The Himalayan foothills and hill country in the Shan State are warmer in the mornings and evenings at this time of year.
