The office said that the heavy rains and thunderstorms over the past 24 hours are the result of the combined effect of monsoon transition and a low-level circulation over the country.
Maldives Meteorological Service (MET Office) has said that the highest amount of rainfall in the past 24 hours was recorded in Hithadhoo, Addu City, with having experienced 110.6mm of rainfall.
