The Maldives have a welcoming weather. The country features a tropical monsoon climate that is affected by the South Asia mass located right to the north. This causes differential heating of the water and the land, creating quite moisture filled air and the appearance of monsoons.
If you want to travel to the Maldives, the most important factor to take into consideration is the weather, which is quite obvious since we are talking about a tropical country. The good news is that regardless of the weather in the country, the islands are still mysterious and exotic every single day of the year. You will get the opportunity of seeing white and sugary beaches, serene Atolls and pristine lagoons no matter when you decide to visit. However, you will want to choose out of the seasons based on personal preferences.
Maldives Summer Season
If you do want to have access to as much fun in the sun as possible, you will want to consider the summer season, which lasts between December and April. The weather is much drier and this is where most of the tourists will actually come to the country. Most of the hotels and resorts are booked and the prices are higher than the alternative. Booking way in advance is a really good idea. Just use the internet so that you can find accommodations that are perfect based on what you want and your budget but be prepared to pay more.
Maldives Winter Season
Winters are quite pleasant. The weather is sunny and the ambience is cool. The best time to visit the Maldives is obviously Christmas. However, it is also the busiest time of the year. Tourists can easily enjoy board games, table tennis, sauna and beach volleyball, together with many different other activities.
Thinking about the months between May and November, it is a period that may be considered. The skies will remain cloudy and the humidity will be high. At the same time, there are increased chances of rainfall but prices are a lot lower. If you love diving and snorkeling, these are the months when you want to visit since water clarity is drastically increased. Various water sports like snorkeling, diving, windsurfing and jet-skiing are popular during this time and all tourists will love it.
