From November to April, no one mentions the word monsoon. On the other hand, the low season, when the summer monsoon arrives in the Maldives, is considered the rainy or monsoon season. At this time, there are strong winds and heavy rainfalls.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/maldives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/03\/weather-4.jpg\" alt=\"rain season in the maldives\" class=\"wp-image-1810\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The weather in Maldives is like this all year round. In the rainy season, it may rain between sunny intervals, whereas, in winter, it is always like the photo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If the dry high season is clear, I will stop a little on the weather in Maldives during the rainy season. Many who have vacationed in Southeast Asian countries run to return their tickets upon hearing the words &#8220;rainy season.&#8221; They know that during this time, a tropical downpour can last for two to three weeks without ending. But that is not the case in the Maldives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rainy season in the Maldives, features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tropical downpours are abundant but short-lived. Rarely does it rain for more than an hour, and the water immediately sinks into the sand. Within 15 minutes after the rain ends, everything is dry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Winds are sometimes strong and gusty, but they do not uproot palm trees. There are no hurricanes like in the Caribbean.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The sun always shines after the rain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Usually, there is only one shower per day, and sometimes it may not rain every day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The rainiest month in the Maldives:<\/p>\n<cite>It&#8217;s May. In May, the rains can last for almost the entire month, making it not the best time to vacation in the Maldives. In June, the amount of rainfall drops by 2-3 times compared to May. You can comfortably vacation in the Maldives at any time of the year, even during the rainy season, except in May, when there may be difficulties \ud83d\ude42<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>I would like to note that every year is different. Sometimes it can rain heavily even in October, to the point where you can&#8217;t leave your bungalow. But the weather is unpredictable, and even meteorologists cannot predict it for more than two days in advance. So, if you happen to come to the Maldives in, say, August and experience rain more than once a day, please don&#8217;t blame me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_UV_index\"><\/span>About UV index<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s talk about the weather-related dangers in the Maldives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s start with the high-season ultraviolet index (UV index). You need to pay attention to this index during any winter month when there are no clouds in the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>The UV index is<\/strong><\/p>\n<cite>a measure of how much ultraviolet radiation reaches the Earth&#8217;s surface.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The atmosphere and clouds easily absorb ultraviolet radiation from the sun.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Because the Earth is slightly flattened at the poles, the atmosphere at the equator is thinner, meaning that more ultraviolet radiation reaches the surface.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Additionally, the sun&#8217;s rays enter the atmosphere at the equator at a right angle. As a result, the distance that sunlight travels on the equator is shorter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, the World Health Organization has developed a UV index scale. Anything above 8 is considered an extreme level, and you can get sunburned in 20-30 minutes literally to blisters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our latitudes (Europe), on a sunny and cloudless summer day at noon when the sun is most active, the UV index is usually around 6-7, or maybe 8. However, in the Maldives, the UV index is 11 or higher every day, sometimes even reaching 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/maldives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/03\/weather-5.jpg\" alt=\"maldives best month to travel\" class=\"wp-image-1813\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The iPhone includes the UV Index in its standard weather forecast widget. A score of 12 is beyond the extreme level! In February, this was the case every day.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>It&#8217;s important to know that:<\/p>\n<cite>in the Maldives, from 12 PM to 3 PM daily, it&#8217;s best to avoid being in direct sunlight. Keep an eye on children and bring all possible sunscreens with you. I&#8217;ve seen cases where tourists had to be rushed to the hospital in Mal\u00e9. It&#8217;s crucial to have <a href=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/maldives\/travel-insurance-for-maldives\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"605\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>comprehensive insurance coverage<\/strong><\/a> in case of such emergencies.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if there are clouds in the sky, the UV Index drops instantly to 4-6, which is much less dangerous. The key is to avoid direct sunlight during the day or to actively apply sunscreen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Weather_in_Maldives_and_transportation\"><\/span>Weather in Maldives and transportation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During the rainy season in the Maldives, there is another danger to consider: transportation cancellations to and from your hotel or the airport. Here&#8217;s what you need to know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hydroplanes, ferries, and speedboats do not operate in bad weather, strong winds, and during dark hours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cancellations and delays are much more common during the rainy season.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you&#8217;ve just arrived in the Maldives, your transfer to your island may be canceled until morning, leaving you to spend the night in Male and wait out the bad weather.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the way back to the airport, tourists are usually taken in any case so they don&#8217;t miss their flight. However, this means riding high waves, strong winds, and spending two hours on a speedboat in the open ocean. Be sure to take motion sickness pills, avoid eating for two hours before departure, and keep a bag handy. This transfer will be memorable for a long time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more about <a href=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/maldives\/maldives-speedboat-transfer\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1964\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>transfers on speedboats in the Maldives<\/strong><\/a>: what they are, how much they cost, and where to book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_for_tourists_when_is_the_best_time_to_visit_the_Maldives\"><\/span>Tips for tourists: when is the best time to visit the Maldives?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The best season to visit the Maldives is<\/p>\n<cite>from December to March, when there is almost no wind or rain and the sun is always shining.
