Weather & Climate Guide


 Weather & Public Utilities

Public utilities such as water and electricity are taken for granted in Britain, but on tropical islands and in less developed countries there may be hiccups in the supply. The Seychelles are located north of the cyclone belt in the Indian Ocean and as such rarely experience such weather patterns.

In general the weather in the Seychelles is warm and humid, averaging 29°C throughout the year with more rain around November to end of January.

The Seychelles experience two trade winds
The South East Trade Winds are prevalent from May to September when it will be drier, breezier, and slightly cooler than during the remainder of the year.
So any beaches located in the north west of any island tend to have calm waters and vice versa for the north west trade winds.

This also means that between May and August currents are stronger, often bringing sea grass onto some of the beaches. The sea is at its choppiest and more agitated in July and August.

The North West Trade Winds are prevalent from October to April.
This is a much calmer breeze, which results in increased humidity and calmer seas.
Higher rainfall occurs during this time of year.

The transition periods of April and October tend to be the calmest and hence the best visibility for divers but diving is possible throughout the year.

As tropical islands close to the equator, the Seychelles experience quite a lot of rain at all times of the year, but this mostly occurs in brief showers followed again by tropical sunshine, hence the lush green vegetation.

The tropical sun is very strong and even on overcast days one should take great care to cover-up and use high factor suntan protection. A hat and sunglasses are recommended.

For birdwatchers, the migratory birds such as sooty terns start arriving in May for the breeding season and depart in October.
