Thursday, November 11, is Maldives' Republic Day, and as such a public holiday. As the weekend follows Republic Day, it is estimated local travel would increase over the three day weekend. MET advices all travellers to ensure they travel mindful of the weather conditions.
Safe sea travel has been an issue in Maldives, with lifeguards being mandatory on small vessels and in certain weather conditions on October 31. Earlier in October, a tragic marine accident lead to the death of a woman and one of her children to go missing.
