Ahuliha.
21 July – 2 August. Clear, dramatic sunsets return more evenings than not.
Showers become shorter; evenings brighten. Maldivian fishermen and farmers have planned by Ahuliha for centuries; the almanac says the same thing every year, and it is right more often than the forecast.
For photographs: clear, dramatic sunsets return more evenings than not. Hulhangu is quieter on the islands and the sunsets are the best of the year; if it rains, we wait twenty minutes.
