Has the climate in Nay Pyi Taw changed?

Nay Pyi Taw has warmed about 4°F between 1971 and 2024.

About 0.7°F per decade, measured from Nay Pyi Taw's official daily weather records, 1971–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Nay Pyi Taw's warming is broadly in line with other cities in Myanmar — neither unusually fast nor unusually slow.

What has actually changed

Each bar is one year. Most recent years sit above the older ones. Some recent years still came in cool — warming is a slope, not a straight climb.

In day-to-day terms, that long-term shift shows up as about 2 more days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 27 years of daily observations at Mae Hong Son, a weather station, about 185 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
