Bad weather conditions affecting the Maldives are expected to continue until at least next Tuesday, according to the Maldives Meteorological Service.
The country has been experiencing widespread rain, strong winds and rough seas since last week. The Maldives Meteorological Service has attributed the conditions to a strengthening of the Southwest Monsoon, known locally as the Hulhangu Monsoon.
