August weather forecast
Maldives

August in the Maldives witnesses the climax of the southwest monsoon, resulting in the most rainfall throughout the year. Despite the high precipitation, average temperatures remain relatively stable, fluctuating between 27°C (80.6°F) and 30°C (86°F). The climate conditions persist uniformly across the country, including major cities such as Male and Addu City.

The wettest month of the Maldivian calendar, August sees a substantial amount of rainfall, especially in the southern atolls. These southern regions, due to their closeness to the Equator and the effect of the southwest monsoon, experience more rainfall than the northern regions. However, the rain typically arrives in brief, intense spells, primarily during the afternoon, leaving significant parts of the day clear and sunny.

In comparison to July, August experiences a further surge in precipitation levels, marking the peak of the wet season. The weather patterns stay consistent into September, with temperatures retaining their warmth and rainfall remaining high. Despite the increased rainfall, August can still be a viable time for tourists who are not deterred by short periods of intense rain. Furthermore, it offers a quieter period in terms of tourism, which might appeal to those seeking a peaceful getaway.
