Climate Guide for February
Precipitation
is usually on the decrease in February, but still fairly wet and humid.
The amount of precipitation is largely influenced by the level of Cyclonic
activity over the Southwest Indian Ocean, the latter affecting the
latitudinal position of the ‘rain belt’. It can get extremely wet like
in 2001 (low cyclonic activity) or extremely dry like in 1982 (high
cyclonic activity).
Increase in sunshine and temperature as the proportion of dry to wet days
also increases.
The Northwest monsoon still the predominant wind, however conditions at
sea is fairly good.
