Mauritius enjoys heat round the year. The summer months are from December to April, and the winter, such as it is, runs from May to November. Temperatures in the coastal region range between 25°C and 33°C in summer and between 18°C and 24°C in winter. Along the plateau it will be some 5°C cooler. The highlands are all wet at all times - it can rain here at any time of year, and even when it's not raining the area can be cloaked in low-lying cloud.

The best months to visit are May to early December. January and February are best avoided by water-sports enthusiasts and divers, due to the peak cyclones.
