Mauritius is a year round destination thanks to it’s sub tropical climate. The busiest times are Christmas and New Year, Easter and the school holidays. Weddings are popular in September and October. The peak holiday season runs from October to Easter.

Being in the Southern Hemisphere the seasons are reversed to those of the UK. Rainfall is year round, but tends to be short showers, and the average temperature rarely drops below about 24 degrees Celsius.

The sea temperature remains constant within about 5 degrees Celsius and varies between 75ºF (24ºC) in the winter and 82ºF (28ºC) in the summer. The western and northern regions are warmer and relatively drier than the East and the South.

January to April – This is the hottest and most humid time in Mauritius. Rain is present on this tropical island, but it tends to be heavy but short lived. Mauritius occasionally experiences the tail winds from ani-cyclones during this time, which generally last no more than 2 or 3 days. Once it has passed the result is typically warmer and less humid conditions.

May to September – These are the cooler months, and we would recommend that you take a light jumper or cardigan with you for the evenings, although the day time temperatures remain warm at around 26 degrees Celsius. The weather is ideal for children or those with fair skin.

September to December – Traditionally thought of as the ‘best time to travel’ weather wise, the temperatures are warmer, and humidity is not at it’s peak.

With worldwide weather becoming more erratic and harder to predict, we cannot be held responsible for a disruption to your holiday due to bad weather. The weather in Mauritius between June and August can be extremely changeable and it is important to note that although Mauritius is an all year round destination it can be fairly chilly in the evenings and windy in patches during this period. It is therefore well worth taking some warm clothing if travelling in these months although we hope this clothing will remain safely in your bags and in many cases it does just that.
