Myanmar Tourist Guides — Environment  The climate of Myanmar is divided into three seasons . summer season, rainy season and winter season. Summer is very hot in Myanmar and it remains there between February and May. Little or almost no rainfall is there during this time. Rainy season begins from May and continues till October. Winter is cool and dry and exists from November to January. Lightweight cottons and linen clothes are needed during the summer season. A light raincoat or an umbrella is very much needed during the rainy season. Due to variation in topography, different climatic conditions exist in different parts of Myanmar. Flowers bloom round the year in Myanmar. In every month, a particular flower blooms in Myanmar. The next month will see a completely different flower. In this way, twelve different types of flowers blossom round the year for twelve months. The flower for a particular month is known as the Flower of the Month. Only Mother Nature knows the cause of this. Myanmar has a rich ecological and biological diversity. It has about 300 mammal species, 300 reptiles, about 100 bird species, and there are almost 7000 species of plant life. The Government of Myanmar is very strict in protecting its biodiversities and they consider it as their national asset. Myanmar is located in the mountainous northern and Western part of the Southeast Asian mainland. It is bordered by China on the North, India and Bangladesh on the west and Thailand and Laos in the east. As a result, the entire country is influenced by tropical monsoon. Monsoon is quite heavy in the southern part of the country. Northern part is in the mountain rain shadow and is a bit drier. The natural hazards are earthquakes, cyclones, flooding and landslides (common during rainy season). The environmental issues that are bothering the Government right now are deforestation, industrial pollution of air, soil, and water, inadequate sanitation and water treatment causing various diseases. To protect its natural resources from destruction, Government of Myanmar has adopted an environment policy, which has been included in the Gazette in accordance with Notification No. 26/94 dated 5th December 1994, of the Government of the Myanmar. Hkakabo Razi (5881m/19290ft), the highest peak in South-East Asia is located on the Myanmar-Tibet border. As almost half of Myanmar is covered with forests, teakwood smuggling to Thailand has emerged into a major trade, causing deforestation.
