Maldives' climate is completely effected by its location (in the middle of the ocean). As Maldives is an archipelago, or a chain of atolls that form a collective land mass such as the Philippines or Indonesia, located near the equator, there is typically a humid climate with a temperature scale (for both wet and dry seasons) between 24 degrees Celsius and 33 degrees Celsius. This is to say that the water vapor is high because the ability to hold moisture is a function of temperature. In other words, the higher the temperature, the greater the chance for high water vapor, given the elevation in the troposphere is low enough. This is to say that temperature and water vapor in the air decrease as one increases in elevation in the troposphere. This however is not a problem for natives and visitors to Maldives as the total elevation climb from sea level in Maldives is only 2.4 meters. Coupled with the monsoonal winds from the Indian Ocean, Maldives humidity and temperature do not feel overbearing.

     One of the major concerns with the further populating of Maldives is global warming. It is important to note, however, that warming and cooling does not occur globally, but locally. Maldives' contribution to global warming comes from the island of Thilafushi. This island is the garbage landfill for Malé and the various tourist islands of Maldives. Almost 330 tons of waste comes to this island a day, and improper recycling practices is allowing car battery acid and asbestos into the water killing the surrounding corral. This could potentially be a problem for Maldives, besides destroying their ecosystem, if sea levels rise even half a meter, many of the tourist attractions in the Republic will be submerged. This would also effect the economy in that the tourist attractions will be gone, and the coral reefs that the fish congregate around will also disappear due to pollution. And whether or not global warming is influenced by human action or is simply a natural cycle of the earth, any rise in sea level is unsettling for the people of Maldives.
