Statements 1 and 2 are correct. The equatorial maritime position of the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago creates a humid, tropical coastal climate system with minimal seasonal temperature variation.

Statement 3 is incorrect because the islands receive their peak rainfall between May and November, while the period from December to April is relatively dry.
