Hi!

Can anyone give me an honest answer to what the weather is really like in the Maldives in August. We are looking at honeymoon destinations and have had really mixed answers to this question.

Many thanks in advance for your responce!

the mixed answers were absolutely right !

you can get from 2 weeks of blissfull sunshine to 2 weeks of sheet rain . most likely , you are somewhere in between . chances are that you will have some sunny days , some cloudy days and the occasional brief shower.

Hi

August is in the middle of the wet monsoon season, so some rain is almost certain. How much and when is anyone%26#39;s guess. Some posters are lucky and go in the rainy season and have great weather. My daughter went in August for 1 week and had blue skies and virtually no rain. Others have reported days of continuous rain. The other thing to be aware of is that the weather can vary greatly from island to island.

The link below is to an excellent article about the weather written by Emu72:

In addition to Emu72%26#39;s excellent review, you might like to take a look at this link to the Maldives Dept of Meteorology.

All you can say with any certainty is that it will be hot!

Thank you so much! i do feel a little silly now though! i guess no1 can predict the weather! :-)

So are you going or you have another destination in mind? I %26#39;m asking because I have the same dilemma...

we are going in the second half of september but I can also only hope that we will have nice weather!

all we can do is hope:)
