February weather forecast
British Indian Ocean Territory

In the British Indian Ocean Territory, February continues the monsoon season that begins in November. This period is characterized by high levels of rainfall, humidity, and warm temperatures. February experiences an average precipitation of about 200mm (7.87"), a slight decrease from January, but it remains one of the wetter months of the year.

Temperatures in February continue to hover between 26°C (78.8°F) and 30°C (86°F), akin to January. However, the high humidity, often exceeding 80%, can make it feel hotter, leading to quite sultry conditions.

Comparatively, the weather conditions in February largely mirror those of January, with consistently high rainfall, humidity, and warm temperatures. Transitioning to March, these conditions persist but with a gradual decrease in rainfall as the islands move towards the end of the wet season.

As with January, the territory lacks notable cities due to its status as a largely uninhabited area. The naval support facility on Diego Garcia experiences weather consistent with the rest of the islands.

Despite the high rainfall and humidity, February can still provide a fascinating opportunity for nature enthusiasts. As the wet season promotes a rich underwater ecosystem, diving and snorkeling can be exceptional during this period. It is also a peak time for birdwatching, as many seabirds breed in the British Indian Ocean Territory at this time.
