CLIMATE
Seychelles’ enviable climate is always warm and without extremes.
In this tropical haven the temperature seldom drops below 24°C
or rises above 32°C. All but the remotest southern islands lie
comfortably outside the cyclone belt making Seychelles’ a year
round destination for sun worshippers and beach lovers.
During the north-west trade winds that visit between the months
of October and March, the sea is generally calm and the weather
warm and humid, with average winds of 8-12 knots.
In January and February the islands receive their life-giving rains,
rejuvenating the rivers and streams and teasing the vibrant foliage
into rainbows of colour.
The
months between May and September bring drier, cooler weather, and
livelier seas - particularly on south-eastern coasts – and
winds of 10-20 knots.
