Myanmar in May

March to May is hot and dry in Myanmar (formerly Burma), a beautiful Buddhist country in South East Asia, with temperatures ranging between 22 and 38 ° C (72 – 100 °F). Making outdoor exploration sometimes difficult in middle of the day. The Bagan Temples in Mandalay are perfect early morning for idyllic sunrises, or charming sunsets late afternoon, when the heat is lower. It is much cooler around Inle Lake in the Shan Hills, as is the capital Yangon due its coastal location. Despite the heat it is worth bringing warm clothes for travel into the highlands and hill stations where it can become chilly in the evenings. In April, most of the country takes part in the New Year Water Festival when water is flung just about everywhere to celebrate the onset of the rainy season and drive out bad luck for the year ahead.
