Hulhangu monsoon · nakaiy 22 of 27

Atha.

11 September – 23 September. Unpredictable and beautiful. Keep the session flexible by an hour.

Sudden squalls, then long calm spells. Maldivian fishermen and farmers have planned by Atha for centuries; the almanac says the same thing every year, and it is right more often than the forecast.

For photographs: unpredictable and beautiful. Keep the session flexible by an hour. Hulhangu is quieter on the islands and the sunsets are the best of the year; if it rains, we wait twenty minutes.
