June	Generally sunny every day, just a few rain showers for around 10 minutes on two out of the nine days we were there and a little windy at night but that was refreshing.

July	We had two consecutive days of rain in the first week. Pretty heavy rain at times. We then had extremely hot and humid weather for the remainder of our holiday with the occasional 6am downpour. These lasted all of 10 minutes. There were a few clouds at times and there's always dark clouds out at sea but no more rain. We think for low-season that we got off lightly, however annoying it was.
July	When we arrived on 6/7 it was overcast and we were concerned. However the sun came through and the 6th and 7th were both sunny days - perfect. Tropical storm hit on 8th and lasted the whole day. Sun then came out for the rest of the holiday, intermittent cloud cover but nothing to concern us and we came back with great tans. The locals stated that we were very luck with the weather that week.
July	had a couple of days of rain but otherwise very sunny
July	The weather on arrival was grey and wet and plane's to the Islands were cancelled but we had booked a boat so it was fine but a bit rough. For the whole two weeks after that it was glorious with only one evening of rain.
July	Constant 30 degrees. Most days were sunny with only 1 day of heavy rain which lasted a few hours and one evening of overnight rain. Locals did say that the weather was unusual for the time of year and more accurately represented what you would typically see in February. A different experience to 2007 where we travelled at the same time and had 5 days of non-stop rain.
July	Was good bit of rain
July	Typically tropical
July	2 weeks in the Maldives and the weather was excellent. It was sunny the full two weeks with only about 2 or 3 showers which from recollection did not last long. There was no wind over the 2 weeks which was great for lying on the beach but not if you are a windsurfer!
July	Fantastic.
July	We loved the weather when we where there, it was very hot and humid. We where there for 12days and we seen rain 3 times, once during the day for an hour and twice during the evening. There was 2days that it was overcast, abit cloudy. I still managed to sunbathe for the whole day and get I got a great tan at the end of the holiday. We then went to Dubai for 6days and the weather was perfect as well, it was hot but bearable, we walked around the shops and streets with no unbearable heat it was managable. We sunbathed and it was perfect, with a dipin the pool to cool down.

August	The Weather was wonderful, it wasn't to hot the temperatures were just right and comfortable to be. As for the rain it was raining mainly in the evenings but then it didn't really effect our honeymoon at all, we enjoyed our time out there.
August	Out of 7 days, it rained constantly all of the Thursday and the Friday and was quite heavy rain but we didn't mind too much as we were in such a lovely resort!
August	a real mix considering it was the rainy season. For the most part though, it was glorious with a day of clouds. If it did rain it was for about 30 minutes and then back to business with the sun! Nice breeze to take the edge of the suns heat too.
August	well, considering its one of the southern most points of the maldives, it wasnt surprising that it was a bit windy. This came as a pleasant relief considering the sun! There were 2 days from the 6 that rained, proper rain i mean, horizontal rain, but for the most time it was sunny, warm but a few clouds

August	For the 1st 4 days of our 2 week stay at Kuredu Island Resort the weather was good - sunshine every day and rain most nights. For the rest of our holiday the weather was not good - heavy rain just about every day with a tiny break of high clouds but no blue sky on a couple of the days. Unfortunately this bad weather affected the viz on our diving. The bad weather did not detract from the otherwise good time we had there as we come from a place where it is hot and sunny so the change was welcomed. In the past years we have been to the Maldives we have been very lucky with the weather - the possible bad weather was not unexpected.
August	It was the wet season but of the 12 days we were there , there were only 3 days were we had to adjust our plans for the day. Most of the time it rained in the evening. I was not expecting the winds though, they were very strong at times, especially at night
