Lotofaga in February
Not the best time
February's still deep in wet season territory with frequent storms and energy-sapping humidity. The upside? Rock-bottom accommodation prices and empty beaches. But honestly, you're better off waiting for drier months unless you're a serious storm chaser.
Weather
February continues the wet season drama with slightly less intensity than January. You're still looking at regular afternoon thunderstorms and that oppressive humidity that makes your clothes stick to your skin. The trade winds pick up occasionally, offering brief relief from the muggy conditions.

February Tips
- •Bring antifungal powder - the humidity wreaks havoc on feet and gear
- •Check cyclone forecasts regularly; February sits in peak cyclone season
- •Book refundable accommodations in case weather forces itinerary changes
All Months
May through October delivers the goods - dry season means fewer mosquitoes, calmer seas, and temperatures that hover around 26°C. July and August see the most visitors, though 'crowded' here means maybe 20 other tourists total. December through April brings cyclone season and daily downpours that can strand you for days. But here's what the guidebooks won't tell you - shoulder months like May and October offer the best balance of good weather and empty beaches. Trade winds pick up in June, making it perfect for just lying in a hammock all day.
