About the Maldives
The Maldives is a small island nation, southwest of Sri Lanka and India, about 1,000 kms from the Asian continent. The chain of 26 atolls stretches from the north to the south to the equator. It consists of an area of roughly 298 square kms, the Maldives is one of the world’s most geographically dispersed sovereign states as well as the smallest Asian country by land area and with a population of approximately 500,000.
The climate in the Maldives
The Maldives has a tropical monsoon climate under the Köppen climate classification, which is affected by the large landmass of South Asia to the north.
Because the Maldives has the lowest elevation of any country in the world, the temperature is constantly hot and often humid. The presence of this landmass causes differential heating of land and water. These factors set off a rush of moisture-rich air from the Indian Ocean over South Asia, resulting in the southwest monsoon.
Two seasons dominate Maldives’ weather: the dry season associated with the winter northeastern monsoon and the rainy season associated with the southwest monsoon which brings strong winds and storms.
The shift from the dry northeast monsoon to the moist southwest monsoon occurs during April and May. During this period, the southwest winds contribute to the formation of the southwest monsoon, which reaches Maldives at the beginning of June and lasts until the end of November.
However, the weather patterns of Maldives do not always conform to the monsoon patterns of South Asia. The annual rainfall averages 254 centimeters (100 in) in the north and 381 centimeters (150 in) in the south.
The monsoonal influence is greater in the north of the Maldives than in the south, more influenced by the equatorial currents.
The average high temperature is 31.5 degrees Celsius and the average low temperature is 26.4 degrees Celsius.
