In Maldives, right now.

Tropical rain — 0.3mm, often a brief intense burst followed by rainbows over the lagoon. The reef can be murkier; perfect time for an indoor spa treatment or a long lunch.

Common questions

When is the best time to visit the Maldives?
November to April (dry season): less rain, calmer seas, peak prices. May to October has more rain but better surfing and 30%+ lower prices.
How hot is the Maldives?
26-31°C year-round. Variation is minimal between seasons. Sea temperatures 27-29°C, always swimmable.
Are the Maldives safe in cyclone season?
Maldives sits below the main cyclone belt. The wet season (May-October) brings heavier rain and rougher seas but rarely true cyclones.
When can I see manta rays and whale sharks?
Year-round in certain spots, but best in May-November (wet season) on the western atolls when plankton concentrates them.
