The short answer
When to go to Maafushi
January to March is the best window: these are the driest months, with February averaging under 40 mm of rain, calmer seas and good boat-trip conditions. Temperatures barely change through the year, with highs near 31 degrees, so rain and swell decide your plans. May and October to November are the wettest, when excursions are more often cancelled. For older travellers, humidity and midday sun matter in every month, so plan activities for the morning and late afternoon. The figures come from the Malé airport station, the nearest long-record source.
