Accurately pinpointing the onset and withdrawal dates of the monsoon bears significant implications for diverse sectors. However, this task is fraught with challenges due to the intricate interannual and spatial variabilities. The Myanmar Southwest Monsoon (MSwM) index emerges as a widely adopted tool for delineating the initiation and cessation of the southwest monsoon across its respective domains. The confluence of advancements in satellite remote sensing, climate modeling, and data assimilation techniques presents opportunities for refining monsoon intensity indices. Additionally, a nuanced comprehension of the intricate interactions between the monsoon and climate teleconnections stands to enhance the assessment of monsoon intensity. Distinguished as a distinct entity from the major South Asian monsoon system, the MSwM follows a seasonal cycle intricately linked to mainland Indochina. The thermal influence of the Tibetan Plateau amplifies both meridional and zonal land-sea thermal contrasts, underscoring the importance of monitoring and anticipating monsoons. The MSwM, a product of complex interactions involving the earth, ocean, atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and cryosphere, exerts a profound impact on regional facets such as agriculture, ecology, chemistry, economics, and society. As technological strides continue, especially in satellite observations and climate models, avenues open up for refining our understanding of monsoon dynamics. The limitations inherent in the current coupled model of the land-sea-atmosphere system underscore the anticipation for advancements in modeling studies. Research in this domain not only contributes to the regulation of human activities but also fosters a harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature, safeguarding the human habitat.

“…(Eckstein and Kreft, 2020). Moreover, the coastal part is very sensitive to the South Asian Summer Monsoon (SASM) changes, which are well reproduced in monsoon precipitation over the region (Yan et al ., 2021). Subsequently, the monsoon precipitation changes over the Myanmar coast can attend as an important indicator of the SASM changes (Yan et al ., 2021; Ullah et al ., 2021b).…”

The present study assessed the spatiotemporal variation of summer monsoon precipitation and its potential drivers in Myanmar, utilizing monthly precipitation data from forty‐six (46) synoptic meteorological stations spanning 1981–2020. The nonparametric statistical Mann–Kendall (MK), Sequential Mann–Kendall (SQMK) test, Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF), and Probability Distribution Function (PDF) were used to determine the spatiotemporal monsoon precipitation trends and variability over the study period. The results show that higher precipitation occurs during June, July and August (peak monsoon period), while low precipitation was detected in May (onset month), September and October (withdrawal monsoon period), respectively. Moreover, abrupt change in precipitation is observed after 1990 with a significant (95% confidence level) increasing trend from 2000 to 2020. Decadal precipitation experienced the highest fluctuation during 2011–2020, a positive shift and increased frequency in recent decades. The spatial trends for monthly and seasonal precipitation vary from station to station and region to region due to a fluctuated shift of climatic dynamics. During dry conditions, less cloud liquid water suppressed relative humidity and high air temperature were exhibited, thus implying less precipitation in the region. However, the wet years revealed strong moisture/water vapour into the inland regions from the ocean, increased relative humidity, and suppressed air temperature. In addition, no significant relationship was found between El‐Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), and monsoon onset timing with precipitation variability over Myanmar. This study provides essential information on manageable climate adaptation, mitigation and weather forecasting strategies in Myanmar.
