The Maldives Meteorological Service (MMS) has announced that inclement weather is expected to persist across various parts of the country over the next three days. However, conditions are projected to improve and clear up starting Thursday, with weather returning to normal.
An official from MMS told RaajjeMV that inclement weather and rain are expected to persist across various parts of the Maldives over the next three days. However, the official noted that weather conditions are projected to improve generally starting this Thursday.
The official stated that while scattered showers are expected across various regions, wind speeds are projected to decrease and sea conditions will begin to calm.
As the southwest monsoon intensifies, the MMS has warned that widespread rain is expected across much of the country over the next five days. The office stated that scattered showers and thunderstorms are likely, with heavy rainfall potentially leading to flooding in some islands.
Consequently, the MMS has urged all parties to remain attentive to the latest weather updates and to take necessary precautions to mitigate potential damage caused by the adverse weather conditions.
The Maldives is currently experiencing severe weather conditions that have caused varying degrees of damage across several islands. Widespread flooding has led to water entering homes, resulting in damage to household appliances, power outages, and the uprooting of trees.
