Experimental Climate Monitoring and Prediction for the Maldives – December 2022

 

HIGHLIGHTS

Monitored: During November, the central islands received up to 15 mm above average rainfall while remaining islands received less. The average rainfall exceeded climatology in the central and southern islands by 26%; and was normal in the northern islands.

Predictions: A transition from the level of a La Niña to ENSO-neutral state is expected in the months ahead. Seasonal climate predictions predict a climatological average from January to March 2023 for the Maldives.
