Seasonality
Embark on a journey to Goidhoo, Fehendhoo, and Fulhadhoo, where the best time to visit is during the dry season from December to April. This period promises sunny days with minimal rainfall, providing an ideal setting for water-based activities such as snorkeling and diving. However, the dry season coincides with the peak tourist season, leading to higher prices for flights and accommodations. For a budget-friendly option, consider the shoulder season from May to July and September to November, which strikes a balance between favorable weather and lower costs.
The Maldives, with its year-round tropical climate and temperatures averaging 26-31°C (79-88°F), remains a pleasant destination at any time. The archipelago experiences two distinct periods:
January to March: dry season dominated by northeast monsoons, and from
Mid-May to November: wet season with occasional heavy showers.
Despite the term "wet," this season sees more rain compared to the dry season, but prolonged days of rain are rare. Thunderstorms occasionally occur, providing a refreshing break from the usual sunny weather. While brief heavy rain showers can happen any time of the year, there's no need for excessive concern. The evolving climate patterns globally make historical data less reliable, but overall, an excellent weather experience is expected throughout the Maldives throughout the year.
