Generally great weather all year. Air temperature 32°C and water 27-28°C. Shorts is all you need but maybe a rash guard is good as sun protection. The best time to go is December to March, mainly sunny and very consistent winds. Maldives have no rainy season but stormy weather when the moonsoon changes from NE to SW. This normally occurs in May when heavy rain storms passes through. Generally a few short rain showers per week in the summer. Almost nothing in the winter.

04-09-12 David: This has to be the most perfect flat water place to kite in the world. The kite centre, run by Zoran is top class yet relaxed and fun, if there is no wind you can dive or just snorkel around the island with 40m vis. This place is really magical, I will definitely go back as often as I can afford to. good value for money aswell, food is also top class, I could not recommend this place more highly.
