Climate

The temperature is between 27 and 33 degrees all year round.

In the summer, monsoon rains occur, but this does not affect the temperature. The climate is a tropical monsoon climate, but it doesn’t feel as hot as other countries at the same latitude as the Maldives is surrounded by the sea, which helps to lower the temperature.
