Seychelles

Seychelles’ enviable climate is always warm and without extremes. In this tropical haven the temperature seldom drops below 24°C or rises above 32°C. All but the remotest southern islands lie comfortably outside the cyclone belt making Seychelles’ a year round destination for sun worshippers and beach lovers.

During the north-west trade winds that visit between the months of October and March, the sea is generally calm and the weather warm and humid, with average winds of 8-12 knots.

In January and February the islands receive their life-giving rains, rejuvenating the rivers and streams and teasing the vibrant foliage into rainbows of colour.

The months between May and September bring drier, cooler weather, and livelier seas - particularly on south-eastern coasts – and winds of 10-20 knots.

Some advice on the most pleasant times to work on your site:

Bird Watching: April (breeding season) from May to September (nesting terns) October (migration)
Diving: March to May / from September to November
Fishing: October to April
Walks and hikes: May-September
Navigation: All year
Diving mask and snorkeling: all year
Surf/Sail: May-September

Best time to travel to the Seychelles is between April to May and October to November.
