When is the best time to go to Mauritius?
Mauritius is a tropical island meaning it is pretty warm all year round! Our UK Summer is winter in Mauritius, and therefore there cooler & drier season and UK Winter is Summer in Mauritius (warmer & wetter). I visited myself in June (technically low season) and the weather was beautiful mid/late 20s, we had a very small amount of rain most days but it was always short-lived.
November – April – Hot & Wet
This is the hot & rainy season, you will find high humidity therefore lush vegetation. January & February can be prone to rain (& cyclones), although you are also likely to get lots of hot & sunny weather as well. Temps are hottest from October through to December so this can be a great time to go if you like the heat!
May – October – Warm & dry
Temperatures average mid-20s with cooler temps at night. Still, a lovely temperature to swim & get out and explore. The UK Summer Holidays are a great time for families to go to Mauritius, the weather is far more bearable than many European destinations, and due to being “low” season there are some great deals to be had.
Peak tourist season is December to March, so if you want to avoid the crowds avoid this time.
