The Maldives, known for its picturesque tropical beauty, is a year-round destination, but the ideal time to visit Dhigufinolhu Island is during the dry season which spans from November through April. During this period, the island experiences less rainfall, lower humidity, and plentiful sunshine, making it perfect for outdoor activities and beach relaxation. The dry season is part of the northeast monsoon, where the seas are calm, and the weather is ideal for snorkeling, diving, and sailing. The visibility under water is excellent due to the calm sea, which enhances the snorkeling and diving experience as you explore the vibrant coral reefs and marine life.
In contrast, the wet season, from May to October, sees higher levels of precipitation due to the southwest monsoon and can sometimes lead to rougher seas. However, the Maldives’ warm temperature is consistent throughout the year, with averages between 23°C to 31°C (73°F to 88°F). While the wet season might have more rainfalls, it also offers the advantage of fewer tourists and lower prices, which can be appealing for travelers on a budget. When planning your visit, it’s also worth considering that peak tourist season falls between December and March, coinciding with pleasant weather, but also leading to higher rates and the need for advanced bookings for accommodation.
