Viha.
20 October – 1 November. Warm, humid light with tall clouds — the sky does half the work.
The monsoon begins to loosen its grip. Maldivian fishermen and farmers have planned by Viha for centuries; the almanac says the same thing every year, and it is right more often than the forecast.
For photographs: warm, humid light with tall clouds — the sky does half the work. Hulhangu is quieter on the islands and the sunsets are the best of the year; if it rains, we wait twenty minutes.
