Loading live weather for Mauritius…

Check the live forecast above before you pack, as Mauritius weather stays warm year-round but the wet season from December to April brings higher humidity and a risk of tropical cyclones.

What is the best time to visit Mauritius for good weather?

The most comfortable months are May to October, when the southeast trade winds keep humidity lower and skies are generally clear. Daytime temperatures hover around 24–27°C, making it ideal for exploring the island or lounging on the beach. November and April are transitional months—still pleasant but with more humidity and occasional showers.

What should I pack for Mauritius?

Lightweight cotton clothing, a sun hat, and high-SPF sunscreen are essential all year. If you are travelling between June and August, bring a light jacket or jumper for cooler evenings, especially in coastal areas. A waterproof jacket or umbrella is wise from December to April, and insect repellent is recommended year-round for evenings.

Is it safe to swim in Mauritius during the wet season?

Yes, but always check local beach warnings and avoid swimming during heavy rain or strong winds. Lifeguard-patrolled beaches are safest. The sea can be rough on the east coast from May to October.

Does Mauritius have a rainy season?

Yes, from December to April. However, rain often comes as short, heavy downpours followed by sunshine. The west and north coasts tend to be drier than the east and south during this period.

Can I see the weather forecast for 14 or 30 days ahead?

For a reliable outlook, check the live forecast above for the next 14 days. Longer-range forecasts (21–30 days) are less accurate, but you can get a general sense of the UK weather hub or regional trends from trusted sources.
