January
January is one of the most popular times to visit the Maldives, with plenty of sunshine and high temperatures its great for a beach holiday - if you love snorkelling and diving the visibility is high thanks to the calm weather conditions.
February
Much like January, temperatures in February stay at a steady 30 degrees, the combination of beautiful weather conditions and good watersports making it a great time to visit, especially if you love sea life.
March
March experiences high temperatures and low humidity levels, making it the perfect time for a beach holiday.
April
April is another great month to travel, with sunny, warm days. During the end of the month there is an increased risk of rain.
May
Temperatures in May remain warm with long periods of sunshine, but with the start of the South West Monsoon season rains and storms are likely. The unsettled weather, means there is lower visibility, so diving and snorkelling isn't as good as previous months.
June
During June, temperatures remain warm with sunny days. With the chances of rain and storms increasing it gives guests a perfect excuse to explore the islands' spas and facilities.
July
The South West Monsoon season continues into July, meaning rains are probable despite the warm sunny days.
August
Weather remains the same in August, and the lower prices and attractive offers make it a great time to visit.
September
Weather remains the same in September, and the lower prices and attractive offers make it a great time to visit.
October
As with preceding months, warm temperatures and sunshine are balanced with increased rain showers and storms. During October is a great time to spot whale sharks and manta rays as they come to feed on the increased plankton in the Indian Ocean.
November
As with preceding months, warm temperatures and sunshine are balanced with increased rain showers and storms. During November is a great time to spot whale sharks and manta rays.
December
Early December can present good value for money before the festive peak, as with previous months the weather can be unpredictable with increasing storms and rain showers.
