Climate overview
Temperature
Monthly mean temperatures are consistently warm in the supplied record. The highest monthly mean occurs in April at 28.4 °C, while the lowest is November at 27.0 °C; these are averages for whole months, not daytime highs or a description of temperatures on every visit. The unweighted mean of the monthly means is 27.6 °C. This gives a broad sense of the year's temperature level, but does not indicate how much temperatures vary from day to day.
Rain
Mean daily rainfall reaches its highest monthly average in May at 8.58 mm/day. Visitors planning outdoor activities around that period can prepare for rain, but this daily mean is not a monthly total and does not establish how often rain falls or how long it lasts. February has the lowest mean daily rainfall, at 1.38 mm/day, making it a conditional option for travellers prioritising lower average rainfall. The unweighted mean across monthly means is 4.95 mm/day; neither figure guarantees dry days.
Sunshine
Mean daily sunshine is highest in April at 10.94 hours/day and lowest in November at 9.29 hours/day. The unweighted mean of the monthly values is 10.12 hours/day. These averages can help with outdoor planning, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length and does not promise clear conditions on a particular day.
Best Travel Time Guide for Malé, Maldives: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights
For visitors prioritising cooler monthly averages, November is the relevant reference point, with a monthly mean temperature of 27.0 °C; this does not describe daytime highs or guarantee cooler weather on every day. If lower average rainfall is your main criterion, consider February, when mean daily rainfall is 1.38 mm/day. For travel around May, where the mean daily amount is 8.58 mm/day, pack rain protection and keep plans flexible; averages do not tell you whether rain will fall during a particular outing. For daylight outdoor planning, mean daily sunshine is highest in April at 10.94 hours/day and lowest in November at 9.29 hours/day. These provide a comparison of average sunshine duration, not a forecast of clear skies or a measure of day length, so they should not be treated as a combined best-time ranking.
