March weather forecast
Maldives

March in the Maldives signals a gradual transition from the dry season towards the wet season. Although this month remains a part of the northeast monsoon, slight changes in weather patterns are evident. The average temperature ranges from 26°C (78.8°F) to 31°C (87.8°F), showing a slight upward trend compared to February. Cities such as Male and Addu City follow this national pattern, maintaining a warm, tropical climate that continues to be attractive for tourists.

March is considered the final month of the dry season in the Maldives. While the northern atolls experience a warm, predominantly dry climate, the southern atolls may see a minor increase in rainfall, although it still remains relatively low compared to the upcoming wet season.

Comparatively, March displays a slightly warmer climate than February, marking a transition phase in the weather pattern. The rainfall also exhibits a gradual increase but does not reach the intensity of the coming wet season. As the Maldives moves into April, the temperature continues its upward trend, and precipitation levels escalate, indicating the imminent onset of the southwest monsoon. Yet, despite these evolving weather patterns, March remains an appealing month for tourists, providing ample sunshine and warmth to explore the archipelago's extensive beauty.
