Being located on the equator, the Maldives has a hot tropical climate, with plenty of sunshine and a high level of humidity. Temperatures range from 24°C to 30°C. The country encounters two monsoons: the northeast monsoon starts from November to April, bringing dry and sunny conditions, whereas the southwest monsoon starts from May to October, marking the rainy season. Despite the monsoon, it's noteworthy that the Maldives can still enjoy a substantial number of sunny days even during the traditionally rainy period.

The Maldives Islands are lovely all year round but peak season tends to be during November to April when there are clear skies and it is dry. The visibility for diving is also high during this period. However, for surfers it is the opposite, since the south west monsoon brings in the best waves, with the largest waves occurring in July and August.
