February weather forecast
Maldives

As the Maldives enters February, the archipelago continues to bask in the warmth of the dry season. This month witnesses similar weather conditions to January, with dry and sunny days being the primary characteristics. Throughout the nation, including the popular tourist destinations of Male and Addu City, the average temperatures range from 26°C (78.8°F) to 30°C (86°F), creating an inviting atmosphere for beach-goers and divers.

Although February is a part of the dry season, slight variations in rainfall amounts can be observed between the northern and southern parts of the country. The southern atolls, despite being in the dry season, tend to receive slightly more rainfall compared to the northern atolls. This climatic feature adds a touch of diversity to the weather across the island nation.

Comparing February with the previous month, there is no significant change in the overall climate. The dry and sunny weather continues from January, making it an excellent time for visitors to explore the Maldives. However, moving into March, there is a slight increase in temperature and a gradual upturn in rainfall. The transition from the northeast monsoon or the dry season towards the southwest monsoon or the wet season begins towards the end of February. Despite this transition, the weather conditions remain favourable for tourists, providing ample opportunity for them to enjoy the natural beauty of the Maldives.
