The Maldives has two main seasons: the dry season (Iruvai) from November to April and the wet season (Hulhangu) from May to October. The wet season brings frequent rain showers, especially from June to August.
The best time to visit the Maldives is during the dry season (November to April) for sunny weather and calm seas. The wet season (May to October) brings lush scenery and fewer tourists, but also frequent showers.
