Myanmar is likely to experience hotter than normal temperatures this summer, according to the Department of Meteorology and Hydrology (Upper Myanmar Division-Mandalay).
There may be some rains in the southern Bay of Bengal and delta regions of Myanmar in the summer this year, and temperatures are likely to be normal in the lower part of Myanmar and warmer than normal in the rest of the country, according to the forecasts of international meteorological centers.
According to the forecasts, a weak La Niña weather pattern is expected early this summer, and it may weaken again by April, U Kyaw Lwin Oo, director of the department, said in the state-run media. Since the forecast says there may be rains during this summer, there may be thunderstorms or showers that usually fall in the afternoon and evening.
