| Starting from
November till May its summer time on Mauritius with average Temperatures
of 30°C during the day. Accompanying this tropical heat comes
the cool sea breeze that makes the climate just right and comfortable.
Especially when you are staying near the coastal areas.
From May till October its winter on Mauritius, the coldest months
are July and August with temperatures averaging the 20° C to
25° degrees Celsius. In Curepipe city, which is located on the
high plateaus of Mauritius temperatures, drop down further than
that. They even have days with 15°C to 16°C, which is very
cold for a Mauritian, especially due to the high humidity.
Apart from that you can enjoy a nice holiday with a nice climate
all year round. We don't have any rainy seasons or monsoons, what
we have are cyclones, or simply big hurricanes.
Since such a small island we are, they sometimes forget to pass
over us for several years… We just get to feel how close they
are but most of the time they don't pass over us so we don't get
any damage. But there has been no year where there hasn't been any
cyclone. Cyclones are present in summer and in winter we have got
anti-cyclones. Don't worry about cyclones, when one is near the
island or in formation the population is warned in all existing
medias (radio, TV, newspaper, internet, schools, police stations)
several days in advance. All necessary advice how to prepare for
the cyclone will be announced in the medias. Take into consideration
that electricity and direct water pipe connection cuts will be performed
from the CEB and CWA (the Mauritian central authority of electricity
and water.). Mauritian families always store water in huge tanks
to overcome water shortages in drought times.
