Hulhangu monsoon · nakaiy 19 of 27
Maa.
3 August – 15 August. Bright and breezy. Wind in hair, spray on the reef edge.
The big nakaiy — fair days with a strong south-west wind. Maldivian fishermen and farmers have planned by Maa for centuries; the almanac says the same thing every year, and it is right more often than the forecast.
For photographs: bright and breezy. Wind in hair, spray on the reef edge. Hulhangu is quieter on the islands and the sunsets are the best of the year; if it rains, we wait twenty minutes.
