Experimental Climate Monitoring and Prediction for the Maldives – February 2023

   

HIGHLIGHTS

Monitored: During January, the entire Maldives received up to 5 mm, while some islands received less. The average rainfall exceeded climatology in the central and southern islands by 27%; and was in deficit by 2% 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 March to May 2023 for the Maldives.
