Our take: February in Maputo is steamy and wet—think tropical downpours mixed with sticky heat (23–30°C). You'll get solid sunshine at 11.8 hours daily, but expect rain about half the time, so pack light, quick-dry clothes and embrace indoor time. The warm Indian Ocean (29°C) is perfect for swimming between showers, making this ideal for travelers who don't mind humidity and want fewer crowds.
