This page presents Myanmar'sclimate context for the current climatology, 1991-2020, derived from observed, historical data.Information should be used to build a strong understanding of current climate conditions in order to appreciate future climate scenarios and projected change. You can visualize data for the current climatology through spatial variation, the seasonal cycle, or as a time series. Analysis is available for both annual andseasonal data. Data presentation defaults to national-scale aggregation, however sub-national data aggregations can be accessed by clicking within a country, on a sub-national unit. Other historical climatologies can be selected from the Time Period dropdown list.
Observed, historical data is produced by theClimatic Research Unit (CRU)of University of East Anglia.Datais presented at a 0.5º x 0.5º (50km x 50km) resolution.
Myanmar has a tropical to sub-tropical monsoon climate with three seasons: i) hot, dry inter-monsoonal (mid-February to mid-May); ii) rainy southwest monsoon (mid-May to late October); and iii) cool relatively dry northeast monsoon (late October to mid-February). Climate varies across Myanmar’s different ecological zones, controlled mainly by distance from the coast and altitude. The country’s southern regions in and around the Ayeyarwady Delta and along the Rakhine, Mon, and Tanintharyi coast lines experience a climate typical of Southeast Asia. Temperatures are high and relatively the same all year round and precipitation can be very high ranging between 2,500-5,500 mm per year. These regions experience the highest exposure to tropical cyclones. Myanmar’s central zone is drier (typically 500-1,000 mm of rain per year) and experiences greater temperature variation, but temperatures can still exceed 40°C. Myanmar’s more mountainous regions in the north and east are generally cooler and receive moderate rainfall in the range of 1,000-2,000 mm per year.
The Climate Change Knowledge Portal (CCKP) provides global data on historical and future climate, vulnerabilities, and impacts. Explore them via Country and Watershed views. Access synthesized Country Profiles to gain deeper insights into climate risks and adaptation actions.
Global climate change refers to the average long-term changes over the entire Earth. These include warming temperatures and changes in precipitation, as well as the effects of Earth's warming, such as: Rising sea levels. Shrinking mountain glaciers.
Climate change framework legislation should establish long-term targets that set the strategic direction of a country's efforts to decarbonize and adapt to climate change.
This course module introduces the theme of climate change and health. It explains how climate change impacts human health and describes mitigation and adaptation interventions in the health sector.
Arctic summer sea ice cover has shrunk dramatically. The heat content of the ocean has increased. Global average sea level has risen by approximately 16 cm (6 inches) since 1901, due both to the expansion of warmer ocean water and to the addition of melt waters from glaciers and ice sheets on land.
Burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests and farming livestock are increasingly influencing the climate and the earth's temperature. This adds enormous amounts of greenhouse gases to those naturally occurring in the atmosphere, increasing the greenhouse effect and global warming.
Earth Day 2024's theme is Planet vs.Plastics . The focus is on working to eliminate plastic usage "for the sake of human and planetary health" and to decrease plastic production by 60 percent by 2040 .
The Climate Adaptation Knowledge Exchange (CAKE) is meant to help you navigate the world of adaptation, find the resources you need to take action and introduce you to others in the community so you can share ideas and build even better options.
The Climate Information Portal (CIP) provides global climate data that can be used for a variety of purposes. One example is illustrated in its role in an environmental impact assessment…
People are looking for information to help them understand climate and make decisions on how to manage climate-related risks and opportunities. To meet this need, NOAA Climate.gov provides timely and authoritative scientific data and information about climate science, adaptation, and mitigation.
Last year, the New York Times reported that more than 1,100 employees of McKinsey had signed an open letter to the firm's top partners, urging them to disclose how much carbon their clients emit. “The climate crisis is the defining issue of our generation,” nearly a dozen McKinsey consultants wrote in the letter.
