The island of Mauritius is situated near the Tropic of Capricorn and has the advantage of a subtropical climate. The climate is fairly acceptable to everyone and the heat is never unbearable.

There are 2 seasons: summer (November to April), with an average temperature of 30°; and winter (May to September) with a variety of temperatures from 17°C at night to 24°C in mid-afternoon. In between, a pleasant period from September to November with temperatures between 25°C and 28°C. Mauritius does not suffer from a monsoon climate.

The Cyclone season generally occurs between January to March. Tropical cyclones are a common occurrence in Mauritius and tend to disrupt the weather for only about four days per year bringing a lot of rain in the region. Visitors should be prepared to spend a few days indoors during extra-heavy rains.
