Mauritius has a tropical climate but temperatures never get intolerably high owing to the surrounding seas. The country has fairly substantial rainfall all year round with the wettest period being December to April (accompanied by the occasional cyclone). From May to November, the weather is generally wonderful with low rainfall, lovely sunny days and warm temperatures.

Mozambique is a tropical country with a single rainy season lasting from November to March and the southern coastal regions getting most of the rain. Coastal temperatures can vary hugely from lovely, comfortable, warm conditions with light sea breezes to extremely hot and sweaty conditions during certain periods of the rainy season when high humidity takes effect.

The Seychelles has moderate to heavy rainfall all year round, particularly between October and March. Despite the rain, the climate is fantastically sunny and even though temperatures are often very high, gentle ocean breezes make the conditions very pleasant. June and August are the driest months.

The following charts are a quick reference to the predominant weather conditions during different months of the year. However, please remember that there are no hard and fast rules.
