Day temperature will be 1.5°C above normal in Kachin, Kayah, Kayin and Mon states in the second ten days of March, said Dr Kyaw Moe Oo, Director General of Department of Meteorology and Hydrology (DMH).

“Kachin, Kayah, Kayin and Mon states will have day temperatures higher than normal temperature in the second ten days of March and the remaining regions and states will also be higher especially in mid Myanmar such as Mandalay, Sagaing and Magway regions. However night temperatures will be lower in some places. Weather will be fair in places near the sea,” he said.

People need to be careful of strong wind, hail, isolated rainfall and thunders due to higher temperature, he added.

According to the weather forecast for second ten days of March by the DMH, weather will be partly cloudy over the Andaman Sea and South Bay and generally fair elsewhere over the Bay of Bengal.
