Special project at Meynaa School

These two girls, along with many others, were participating in a special project at school.  They were to monitor the air and water temperatures during different times of the day.

At 7:30 in the morning, the air temperature was 28 degrees celcius or 82.4 degrees farenheit

The water temperature however was 28.5 degrees celcius or 83.3 degrees farenheit.

What these temperatures do NOT record  is the humidity which on any given day here on the island runs about 80%.  Without a breeze or wind, it's the high humidity that makes the air feel so very hot and oh so very sticky.

Even with a breeze or wind... it's still hot and sticky!

How hot is it? Today's weather on Holhudhoo Island

The forecaste is for a high of 86 and a low of 82 in the Maldives.


The actual high today.... 88 degrees, but it feels like 101 degrees.  Why.....?

75 % humidity!

Guess my body is still acclimating to the climate here on the island...... sure felt awfully hot this morning when I was teaching!
