In the Seychelles, weather is constantly changing. Neither rain nor sun ever become set for long periods. The archipelago, which rarely experiences really strong winds, is under the influence of a highly distinctive system consisting of two monsoons separated by a month of variable weather: the inter season.
From May to October, almost constant winds blow south-easterly with clear skies. The winds drop in November and give way to north-westerly’s winds, bringing heavy rain clouds.
You’ll find the heaviest rainfall in January which can reach 370mm/4.5 in.
The south-easterly wind pattern returns in April. In between these two periods there are two short periods of flat calms or light winds. April and May are the sunniest months; however, the cloudiest months still manage a daily average of 5.30 hours of sun.
These slight climate changes barely affect the temperature which remains at a steady 28°- 30°C (82°-86°F) and the level of humidity which is close to 80% all year around.
