Geography

The weather of Maldives is greatly influenced by various geographical elements. The landmass of South Asia, located at the north of the country, affects the heating of the islands and the water and the shifts of Himalayan jet stream gives the country very moisture-rich air. This mixture of warm and cold air makes the country a birthplace of low-pressure areas.

Seasons of Maldives

Maldives weather has only two seasons: the dry and rainy season. The country receives an annual rainfall average of 2,540 millimeters in its northern area and 3,810 millimeters in the south. The temperature of the country measures between 24 and 33 degrees Celsius.

Rainy season usually occurs at the end of April until the end of October.  The rainiest period of this season is September/October, sometimes referred to as the Maldives Typhoon Season, although storms rarely last more than a couple of days at most.  There is no hurricane season in the Maldives.  Hurricanes are strictly a phenomenon of the western hemisphere.

Dry season in the Maldives begins in the first week of December and ends in March.

During the months of October and November, the country goes a transition period from the rainy to the dry season, wherein the  Maldives weaher is usually cooler than the rest of the year.

The weather patterns in the Maldives, however, do not always conform to the seasons. Rain showers may fall over the country for an entire week even during the dry season.
