Yangon has a [[tropical monsoon climate]] (Am) under the [[Köppen climate classification]] system.<ref name=Peel>{{cite journal |author=Peel, M. C. |author2=Finlayson, B. L. |author3=McMahon, T.

It is primarily due to the heavy rainfall received during the rainy season that makes Yangon fall under the tropical monsoon climate category. During the course of year 1961 to 1990s, average temperatures show little variance, with average highs ranging from {{cvt|29|to|36|C|F}} and average lows ranging from {{cvt|18|to|25|C|F}}.

Yangon is prone to [[tropical cyclones]] every time of the year. In 2008, [[Cyclone Nargis]] made landfall as a Category 4 cyclone, making it the worst cyclone on the country's record.
