How scores are madeClimate data for this area comes from one point near Malé atoll.
Low confidence: these scores are rough estimates, so we do not pick best months for Maldives.

About these figures
Low confidence: the climate model's grid square here is mostly sea, so treat the figures as a rough estimate.
Day temperatures from ERA5-Land, adjusted for altitude with a small-island correction; monthly rain from ERA5-Land; sunshine from ERA5 direct sunlight; sea temperature from ERA5 about 10 km offshore. Averages for 2004–2023.
Scores are estimates from modelled climate data, not forecasts. How we score.
