The Maldives has
a hot, tropical climate all year round and is affected by
two monsoons bringing different weather
fronts to the area.
Wet Season - The southwest monsoon brings wind and rain and
it is a good idea to try to avoid the Maldives during this
time - particularly June and July when the weather is extremely
stormy with torrential rainfall.
Throughout the
year the daytime temperature rarely falls below 23ºC
and despite its position beside the equator, humidity is
low due to cooling
sea breezes.
Light cotton or linen clothes are the most appropriate attire
and waterproofs are essential during the wetter months.
Best time to visit: During the Dry Season when the northeast
monsoon brings drier, sunnier weather.
