Maldives braces for peak heat as MET Office warns April will be hottest month

The Maldives Meteorological Service has forecast April to be the hottest month of the year, warning of intensified heat conditions driven by dry weather, minimal cloud cover, and high humidity. Meteorologist Hussain Waheed said the seasonal transition between March and April typically produces the highest temperatures. The heatwave is expected to persist over the coming week, particularly in northern atolls where rainfall chances remain low. The Maldives has experienced an extended dry spell since February. Health officials, including Fathimath Shabana from the Health Protection Agency, warned that prolonged exposure could lead to headaches, fatigue, eye strain, and sunburn. Authorities urge residents to limit outdoor activity during peak hours and stay hydrated.
