There may be changes in the weather pattern in the coming months depending on the possibility of La Niña, U Hla Tun, director of the Department of Meteorology and Hydrology, said.

The impact of La Niña intensity may cause changes in the weather pattern gradually but the impact may not occur immediately. La Niña affects the weather with more humid than usual, rains, and cold winds coming in during hot weather conditions, which may lead to changes in the weather that may cool down and cause untimely rain. Therefore agricultural activities need to be careful of the untimely rain, he said.
In addition, as the weak La Niña may continue until April, Myanmar’s winter may last longer, and cold weather may persist until early March, according to U Win Naing, an external meteorologist.
