Still excellent. Crowds slightly lighter than January. Carnival energy reaches Goa.. February at Siolim — perfect weather continues, late-month Goa Carnival floats hit Mapusa and Panaji, and the Chapora boat operators are at full capacity. Wedding season for the Goan-Catholic diaspora makes weekends busy in churches.
