October weather forecast
Maldives

October in the Maldives signifies the latter stages of the wet season, characterized by decreasing rainfall as the country transitions towards the drier months. Temperatures during October remain stable, typically ranging from 27°C (80.6°F) to 30°C (86°F), a trend that prevails across the nation, including prominent cities such as Male and Addu City.

The influence of the southwest monsoon starts to wane during October, leading to reduced rainfall, particularly in the northern atolls. However, the southern atolls, being closer to the Equator, continue to receive higher precipitation due to the lasting effect of the monsoon. The rainfall, though less frequent, continues to appear as brief, intense showers, primarily during the afternoon, interspersed with periods of sunshine.

Compared to September, October witnesses a further decrease in precipitation levels, indicating a steady shift towards the dry season. As the Maldives enters November, this trend becomes more pronounced, with rainfall continuing to decline and temperatures maintaining their warmth. Despite being a part of the wet season, October can offer a quieter, less crowded experience to tourists who do not mind occasional rain showers, paving the way for a serene exploration of the Maldivian splendor.
