September in the Maldives marks the beginning of the end of the South West monsoon, with generally wetter and more unsettled conditions still prevailing across the Maldives, especially in the more southerly islands.
September is still low season in the Maldives, with hotel prices substantially lower. Airfares to the Maldives in September are usually lower than in the UK August summer holiday high season.
A holiday to the Maldives in September can still be a good option for those looking for a more affordable Maldives holiday, but some rain should certainly be expected.
Temperatures remain constant throughout the year in the Maldives, but between May and October there is a higher likelihood of experiencing some overcast skies, afternoon showers and breezier conditions.
Extended periods of rainfall in the Maldives in September can occur but generally the Maldives is much less severely affected by monsoon rainfall than continental locations.
Breezier conditions in September can also help to relieve the effect of higher humidity.
