May Overview
Not much change from last month with May remaining very hot as the mercury reports frankly unnatural figures at times. Visitor numbers start to decline making this month a very agreeable time of year to visit for any serious sun worshippers! Temperatures do tend to start to dip a little towards the end of the month (monthly range from 32 - 38°C) and in reality this is most welcome.
The heavy rains are just around the corner so you can expect showers and it is likely, again towards the end of the month, that a breeze will pick up, helping to cool the land.
(- continued:) May Overview
The central plains to the south of Mandalay don’t fall in with the rest of the country, remaining dry and with temperatures remaining astronomical, touching 40’°C at times. The beaches remain hot and dry although the ‘season’ comes to an end in early June, with resorts battening down the hatches in preparation for the less favourable weather in the coming months.
