CLIMATE Myanmar's year is divided into three seasons. The rains begin in May, and are most intense between June and August. This is a time of high humidity - especially intense in the coastal and delta regions during afternoon/evening showers when monsoonal winds carry the moisture in off the Indian Ocean. The central inland is drier than other parts of the country, but is subject to much rain during this time.
