The average temperature during this time is 29 degrees Celsius (84 degrees Fahrenheit), with lows of 24 degrees Celsius (75 degrees Fahrenheit).

If you are looking for a more affordable trip, you may want to consider visiting the Maldives during the shoulder seasons (May-June and September-October). The weather is still warm and sunny during these months, but there is a slightly higher chance of rain. You may also find that prices for flights and accommodation are lower during these times.



The monsoon season in the Maldives runs from June to August. This is the wettest time of year, with high humidity and frequent rain showers. However, the weather can still be pleasant during the day, and there are still plenty of activities to enjoy, such as swimming, snorkeling, and diving. Just be sure to pack a raincoat and umbrella!
