May to December (Mauritius dry season: cooler, sunnier and with more consistent trade winds). November and April are shoulder months with pleasant conditions. December–March can be hot, humid and occasionally affected by cyclones.

Tropical maritime climate: warm year-round. Dry season (May–December) is cooler and sunnier; wet season (January–March) brings higher humidity and heavier showers/cyclone risk.
