Best time to visit Yangon: month-by-month weather (2026)

The best months to visit Yangon, based on the highest visit scores of the year, are January, February, and December. These months combine low rainfall, with January and December each seeing only about 9mm to 12mm, alongside strong sunshine hours of roughly 10 to 11 hours a day, making for drier and brighter conditions than the rest of the year.

The trade-off is that January, February, July, August, and December also count as peak season, which can mean more visitors during the driest, most comfortable months. Travelers who visit outside this window face steeper compromises: April brings the hottest days, with highs around 37.4C, while June, July, August, and September bring the heaviest rain, including 519mm in June and 605mm in July, alongside far fewer sunshine hours.
