The Maldives is currently experiencing its rainy season (the Southwest monsoon) during which several parts of the country experience heavy rainfall coupled with strong gusts and rough seas.
The island nation's communities are currently celebrating festivities related to Eid ul-Adha; an Islamic celebratory period for Muslims, a time in which locals travel between islands to take part in various cultural events.
Authorities had earlier cautioned the public with regards to transportation; especially via sea routes, amid the rainy season as accidents on sea are frequent during this period.
