With the monsoon season coming very soon, we have been seeing reports of rain and wind hampering response operations. At Inle Lake on 27 April, severe winds tore through Kyartaw Village near Nangpang, ripping off damaged roofs of earthquake affected homes and flattening makeshift shelters. Patheingyi Township in Mandalay Region includes seven villages on islands in the Irrawaddy River between Mandalay and Sagaing towns which reportedly faces flooding during the rainy season. The rain is also worsening road conditions, and travelling will be increasingly difficult.

An untimely rainfall warning has been issued until 4 May: rain or thundershowers are likely to be fairly widespread to widespread across the country with the likelihood of regional and isolated heavy falls.
