Myanmar has three seasons. The winter is cool and dry and lasts from November to February. After that is the hot summer until May, resulting in temperatures in the 30s. In May, the rainy monsoon season starts and lasts until October.
The best time to visit is during the winter, from October to February. It is pleasantly cool and the sky mostly cloudless.

In this climate, clothing made of thin cotton works best. During the
cool season it is advisable to bring a light jacket or a warm sweater.
The best bet during the rainy season is an umbrella. A plastic poncho is too warm for most of the year. You'll sweat and get as wet as if you had not worn one.
Sandals are convenient. All foot wear must be taken off when entering pagodas or monasteries. Shorts and briefs are not allowed.
Make sure you take warm clothes with you if you visit the mountainous regions, like the Shan State. It can become quite cold there in the night.
