What's the WEATHER like in MAURITIUS?

​Climate of Mauritius

Mauritius enjoys a mild tropical maritime climate throughout the year. The country has two seasons: a warm humid summer extending from November to April and a relatively cool dry winter from June to September. The month of October and May are commonly known as the transition months.
Mean summer temperature is 24.7 degrees Celsius and mean winter temperature is 20.4 degrees Celsius. The temperature difference between the seasons is only 4.3 degrees Celsius.
The warmest months are January and February with average day maximum temperature reaching 29.2 degrees Celsius and the coolest months are July and August when average night minimum temperatures drops down to 16.4 degrees Celsius.
Long term mean annual rainfall (1971-2000) over the Island is 2010 mm. The wettest months are February and March. The driest month is October.
Mean summer rainfall (1971-2000) is 1344 mm, which is 67% of the annual amount over the Island. Mean winter rainfall (1971-2000) is 666 mm. Although there is no marked rainy season, most of the rainfall occurs in summer months.
The Island receives 6.5 to above 8 hours of bright sunshine daily. In summer months around 6.0 hours of bright sunshine are received over the high grounds, whereas the coastal regions are exposed to 7.5 to over 8.0 hours of bright sunshine. In winter months, the Central Plateau receives around 5.0 hours of bright sunshine whereas the coast receives above 7.5 hours of bright sunshine.
The tropical weather
Because of the varying terrain in Mauritius, the weather and climate varies slightly from one side of the island to the other, and from the inland areas to the coast. On the central plateau, the temperatures are typically three to five degrees lower than at the coast—you could be totally surprised to see how a day at the beach could be sweltering and yet a short drive away it could be raining on the central plateau, which sits approximately 600m above sea level. Generally, the southern and eastern parts of the island are slightly cooler and wetter than those in the north and west. Being a tropical island, it’s important to understand that the weather can change quite quickly, and occasionally be a little unpredictable.
