September weather forecast
Maldives

September in the Maldives marks the continuation of the wet season, with the influence of the southwest monsoon still strongly felt across the country. However, it signals the beginning of the transition towards the dry season. The temperatures during this month continue to hover between 27°C (80.6°F) and 30°C (86°F), maintaining the warm conditions seen throughout the year. This pattern is consistent across the country, including the major cities such as Male and Addu City.

September is a rainy month in the Maldives, particularly in the southern atolls due to their proximity to the equator and the influence of the southwest monsoon. The rainfall, although abundant, typically occurs in brief, intense showers during the afternoon, allowing for plenty of sunny spells in between.

In comparison with August, which is the wettest month, September experiences a slight reduction in rainfall levels, signaling a slow transition towards the drier months. As the Maldives moves into October, these weather patterns continue to change, with rainfall further decreasing and temperatures remaining consistently warm. Despite the high levels of precipitation, the off-peak tourist season during September can provide visitors with a less crowded experience of the Maldives' stunning beauty, as long as they are prepared for brief, heavy showers.
