Weather & Climate of Seychelles

Seychelles is out of the cyclone belt and enjoys a stable weather system, and dangerous weather conditions are extremely rare. Temperatures remain constant and range between 24 and 31 degrees Celsius year round (75 and 89 degrees Fahrenheit). The Archipelago is affected by two main weather systems – the South East Monsoon / Trade-Winds and the North-West Monsoon / Trade-Winds.

The North-West Monsoon – From December to April

Generally, this time of year is wetter and hotter than the remaining months, but still just as pleasant for a trip to Seychelles. As a rule, the south – eastern parts of any of the islands will enjoy calmer seas than those affected by the north-westerly winds – this is something to consider when booking your accommodation.

The South East Monsoon – From May to November

During this time, temperatures are generally cooler and there is less rainfall. As a rule, the north-western parts of any of the islands will enjoy calmer seas than those affected by the south-easterly winds - this is something to consider when booking your accommodation.
