The Maldives Meteorological Service has warned of heavy rainfall and the risk of flooding through 11 November.
An active southwest monsoon is bringing unsettled weather to much of the country. The forecast indicates heavy showers, thunderstorms and the possibility of localised flooding, particularly in low-lying areas.
Recent rainfall has already caused flooding on several islands. In Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll, homes in Kolamaafushi and Thinadhoo were affected, with the National Defence Force assisting residents.
The highest 24-hour total recorded between 6 and 7 November was 104.6 millimetres at Faresmaathodaa in Gaafu Dhaalu. A yellow alert was issued for areas between Haa Alif and Alif Dhaalu Atolls earlier in the week.
Authorities have advised the public to monitor updates closely, avoid unnecessary sea travel during rough conditions, and take precautions against flooding. The five-day outlook shows continued rain across central atolls.
The Met Office updates its warnings regularly and publishes detailed forecasts on its website and social media channels.
