This rainfall is distributed fairly evenly across the islands, although the Ha'apai group, positioned centrally in the archipelago, generally records slightly higher amounts. The high rainfall and tropical temperatures in February contribute to the lush greenery that envelops the islands, making Tonga a picture of tropical paradise despite the potential for severe weather.

Compared to January, the weather conditions in February are largely similar. However, as February marks the tail-end of the cyclone season, the transition into March usually sees a slight reduction in rainfall and the diminishing risk of cyclones.

As with any travel to Tonga during the cyclone season, visitors in February should remain vigilant about weather updates. Despite the risk of severe weather, the sea remains warm, often around 29°C (84.2°F), and the islands' marine biodiversity presents excellent opportunities for scuba diving and snorkeling.
