WET START TO 2025
Last year, March saw significant downpours from Mar 19 to Mar 20 due to a monsoon surge.
The surge contributed significantly to March 2025’s record rainfall, MSS said. The total islandwide average rainfall of 272.3mm over those two days exceeded March’s long-term average of 209.7mm.
January and April also saw notably wet conditions last year.
A monsoon surge at the start of the year saw January 2025 logging 430.0mm of rainfall – nearly double the month’s long-term average. This also made last year’s January the sixth wettest January since 1980.
