Averages for Maldives in December

By December, the dry season is underway in the Maldives and the weather improves as a result.

Temperatures are higher at this time of the year and there is more sun seen each day. Humidity drops and is controlled by sea breezes, which ensure the climate does not get unbearably warm.

The levels of rainfall drop dramatically, as do the strong winds that are ever present in the wet season and the chance of seeing storms.

The tropical weather returns in December, making the Maldives a very popular winter sun location with tourists looking to get away from the cold.

The Maldives is known for being a paradisiacal beach resort that is a great option in the winter for tourists looking to get away from the bleak British winter.

The many different beaches all offer miles of white sand, making it the ideal place to relax and work on a tan.

However, it’s also a great place to choose if you want a more active holiday and water sports are some of the most popular things to do on a holiday here.

For surfers, there are plenty of surf spots across the country. Male Island Point is just one.

Scuba diving is another popular sport in the Maldives, as the water boasts the perfect conditions for the sport and the coral reefs and interesting marine life are just a couple of the attractions for divers.

However, those who don’t want to go on a dive can enjoy the same sights by going snorkelling instead.

If you’re looking for a low cost option when it comes to accommodation, the Sunshine Hotel may be the place for you. As well as low room rates, the hotel also offers discount deals for tourists, meaning you can stay here no matter how tight the budget is.
