BEST TIME TO TRAVEL
OVERVIEW
The Maldives climate is warm and tropical with temperatures averaging 29°C to 31°C year-
round. The northeast monsoon from November to April is generally sunny and the driest
months. The southwest monsoon from May to October brings rain and occasional strong
winds, but whilst the downpours may be heavy, they’re equally short and a few minutes later
the sun’s out.
BEST TIME TO VISIT
January to March are the best months to visit; the visibility is good offering excellent snorkeling and diving opportunities.
WHEN TO AVOID
If you’d prefer to avoid some showers, travel to Maldives outside of the months of May through October.
BEST FOR DIVING
Diving is great between January and April due to excellent visibility, however October and November are good for whale sharks and manta rays.
BEST FOR SURFING
Known to have some of the best waves in the world, consider visiting in February, March and April for the best combination of sunshine and swell!
