The Maldives Meteorological Service has warned of heavy rainfall and the risk of flooding in several parts of the country over the next four days.
An intensification of the southwest monsoon is expected to bring showers, thunderstorms and possible flooding from 7 to 11 November. The Met Office has advised the public to follow updated forecasts and take necessary precautions.
Between 8:00 am on 6 November and 8:00 am on 7 November, the highest rainfall was recorded at Gaafu Dhaalu Faresmaathodaa, which received 104.6 millimetres. A yellow alert was issued earlier for the area between Haa Alifu and Alif Dhaalu Atoll.
Heavy rain over the past 24 hours has already caused flooding on a number of islands. Residents in affected areas have reported water entering homes and disruptions to daily activities.
The Met Office continues to monitor the situation and will issue further updates as needed.
