January is an optimal time for touring Myanmar and many consider this one of the best times of year to enjoy a Myanmar tour. In January throughout Myanmar, the weather can be expected to be dry with long periods of clear skies, with temperatures in the high 20’s.

Temperatures are a little bit cooler than the pre and early monsoon months of April to June but still usually in the high twenties or early thirties.

Bear in mind that accommodation options are limited in Myanmar especially during the peak season months, so early booking is essential for this time of year.

The central plains and southern coast should have hot sunny cloudless days during this time of year. 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 can still be chilly in the evenings and early mornings, so bear this in mind.
