October marks a transitional month in the Maldives as the dominant weather pattern shifts from the wetter South West monsoon to the drier North East monsoon which brings more settled conditions.

The weather in October in the Maldives as a result can be more difficult to predict as this is a transitional month.

Temperatures remain in the high twenties to early thirties in October but an afternoon shower or two can still be anticipated at this time of year, especially earlier in the month.
