Iruvai monsoon · nakaiy 1 of 27

Mula.

28 November – 10 December. Clear evenings return. Sunset sessions are reliable again and the lagoon flattens to glass.

The north-east wind settles in; the seas calm after the last Hulhangu squalls. Maldivian fishermen and farmers have planned by Mula for centuries; the almanac says the same thing every year, and it is right more often than the forecast.

For photographs: clear evenings return. Sunset sessions are reliable again and the lagoon flattens to glass. Iruvai is the peak season, so book the date early — I hold a quote for five days.
