Averages for Maldives in October

October is at the end of the wet monsoon season in the Maldives and, as a result, is a part of the off season.

Torrential rain that can last for days at a time is coupled with gale force winds and a high risk of thunderstorms that can appear at any moment.

Temperatures at this time of the year also drop when compared to the dry season and there is less sun seen too.

That being said, the weather remains very warm, as does the sea temperature, for any tourists who find themselves here during this month.

Hukuru Miskiiy (Old Friday Mosque) is one of the main tourist attractions in the country. The building has intricate carvings both inside and outside of the mosque. It’s well worth a visit. 

The National Museum is another prime tourist attraction in the country. The building is all that remains of the Sultan’s Palace and now houses many important artefacts and monuments from the country’s past. It is housed in Sultan’s Park- a scenic public park.

The Boutique Inn at Villa Shabnamee is conveniently located in the capital city and ideal for those that want to take advantage of the cultural attractions there. The affordable room rates make it the ideal place to stay if you’re travelling on a budget too.
