Maldives climate

Even though the Maldives actually straddles the equator and lies outside
the treacherous cyclone belt in the vicinity of the Bay of Bengal, you
might expect the country to suffer from scorching equatorial heat. This
is where nature blesses us with the best the sea has to offer. All that
water acts as a buffer, storing and giving up heat at a much slower rate
than solid ground. Temperatures fluctuate between a minimum 23 Degree
Celsius and a maximum 32 Degree Celsius through out the year. The thermometer
normally hovers round the 30 degree mark. There is always a cooling breeze
blowing in from the sea. This makes even a hot day so pleasant on the
beach that even those of us who are so used to it never cease to be moved
by its sheer magic.

What is so special about the climate and weather in the Maldives Islands?

The special in this case is the Maldivian atolls, where an archipelego is made up of islands formed by volcanic or tectonic activity, an atoll is an island formed from the build up of coral. Nature protects these islands
so well from the rougher aspects of the greater ocean while withholding
nothing in the magic of a warm tropical sea! The magic lies in the reefs that make up the atolls.
The outermost layer of the coral atoll is a fringing reef. This layer, composed entirely of
coral debris and living coral, presents a formidable barrier to oceanic
waves. Even on the calmest days, with hardly noticeable ripple on the
surface of the sea inside the reef enclosed lagoons, waves continue to
crash and thunder onto these reefs. As soon as one finds a natural break
in the reef and gains entry within, paradise awaits you if you love windsurfing,
snorkeling, diving or one of the many pastimes that sea-lovers enjoy.

The bonus here is that a relatively short distance from any of the larger
fringing reefs, and very often forming a ring just inside it, you will
find a number of islands of different sizes. These islands have unbelievably
white coral sand beaches. Lush vegetation, including coconut palms, covers
the larger ones.

As you approach your choice of island, first thing you will probably notice
is that each island has its own house reef. The waters within
these house reefs are often so shallow in places that you can safely wade
there in the crystal clear water even if you don’t know how to swim.
The double reef protection around the atolls is what kept the people of
this country safe from the sea for centuries.
