Experimental Climate Monitoring and Prediction for the Maldives – May 2023

           

HIGHLIGHTS

Monitored: During April, the majority of the central islands and southern islands received up to 5 mm of rainfall, while other islands received less.

Predictions: A transition from ENSO-neutral is expected in the next couple of months, with a greater than 90% chance of El Niño persisting into the Northern Hemisphere winter. Seasonal climate predictions predict a dry and warmer tendency from June to August 2023 for the Maldives.
