The Maldives Meteorological Service (MET Office) has issued a warning that large parts of the country will face heavy rainfall, strong winds, and rough seas beginning Monday.
According to the MET Office, a weather circulation in the western region of the Maldives has been causing significant rainfall since Friday, affecting several areas. While conditions are expected to improve slightly on Sunday, the MET Office predicts worsening weather from the start of the new week.
The advisory states that the adverse weather is likely to persist from Monday to Wednesday, with forecasts indicating widespread heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and turbulent seas across the country.
Residents and seafarers have been urged to remain cautious and heed safety warnings during this period, particularly those in low-lying and coastal areas prone to flooding. The MET Office continues to monitor the situation closely and will issue updates as necessary to keep the public informed.
This warning comes amid the Maldives’ northeast monsoon season, which typically brings unpredictable weather patterns, making vigilance essential for both travelers and locals.
