What is the weather like in the Maldives in December and other months (dry vs rainy season)?

Another traveler reports excellent, cloudless weather during a November trip last year, and is heading back to the Maldives in November again this year.

A traveler who visited the Maldives twice in December and once in February notes that the chance of good weather in these months is usually higher than in others. She's curious about September trips.

A long-term resident of the Maldives says that over 5 Decembers spent there, the weather was different each time: sunny days, heavy downpours and strong winds — there's no single reliable forecast for December.

A traveler notes that according to chat feedback, summer months in the Maldives get praised for sunshine, while early December (the so-called 'season') gets described negatively; she asks for positive experiences from November-December trips.
