HIGHLIGHTS
During the last two weeks of August, the southern islands recorded the highest rainfall, reaching up to 40 mm per day, while the other islands received comparatively less. Northwesterly winds prevailed over the Maldives during July. Sea surface temperatures (SST) in the eastern Pacific Ocean are expected to be cooler within the next three months.
Monitored: In July, the northern islands received up to 10 mm of rainfall; while remaining islands received less. North-Westerly winds prevailed for the Maldives during the month of July.
Predictions: ENSO-neutral is most likely through the late Northern Hemisphere summer 2025 (56% chance in August-October). Thereafter, a brief period of La Niña conditions is favored in the fall and early winter 2025-26 before reverting to ENSO-neutral.
