June through September is rainy season Myanmar, and it gets very wet with temperatures still hot, though a little cooler, between 22 and 31 °C (72 – 88 °F). In Yangon in July rainfall hits nearly 400mm, which sees longer downpours in the afternoons as it is situated on the southern coast. Some regions become inaccessible, and Ngapali Beach, the nation’s finest, closes in preparation for the high winds and heavy rainfall that batter the coast, but you can still travel to key places, such as Yangon, Mandalay, Inle Lake and Bagan. The rains, however, do bring the country to life as lush green vegetation emerges throughout. The rain tends to come in short sharp bursts in the afternoon and early evening, so travel is fine, especially with an umbrella to hand.
