June will be from 25-30 C each day. If it does rain it is over quickly.
Its the start of the raining season but still lovely. We honeymooned there end of june 06.
The climate of Maldives is warm year round, determined by the monsoons. However, being on the equator, the monsoons are mild and not as defined as in neighboring countries. Of the two monsoons, the southwest monsoon from May to October brings some rain and wind. The northeast monsoon from November to April is the dry season with very little rain and wind. The temperature varies little with an annual average daily maximum of 30.4º degrees Celsius and a minimum of 25.9º degrees Celsius.

Take lots of sunscreen and also a t-shirt (and perhaps a pair of light cotton trousers) to snorkel in. I was there last April and got third degree burns on the back of my legs from spending so much time in the water....the snorkelling was fantastic. By the end of the week, I was swimming with cotton trousers on (pegged at the bottom to stop them riding up!!!) but I blistered horribly.

Be prepared for some rain - the Maldives are pretty much on the equator so it's tropical. For us, it raised briefly every couple of days - nothing to spoil the holiday, but you might want a book for such periods.

If you can, take your own mask & snorkel - at least then you know it'll fit you. Fins can be obtained locally.
