Gabbe has studied weather records of the past 10 years and expects a pleasant weather over the weeks to come. But weather in Maldives is very unpredictable, a peaceful day could get interrupted in matter of minutes. Although that is the fact, the usual weather in late January and February is stable, sailing and windsurfing gets more active during this period.
