Best Time to Visit Seychelles

Peak Season

May-October brings southeast trade winds offering cooler temperatures (24-28°C/75-82°F), lower humidity, and calmer seas ideal for diving and snorkeling, though with premium pricing during European summer holidays.

Mid Season

Transitional months of April and November offer excellent value with generally favorable weather conditions, good visibility for water activities, and reduced visitor numbers before or after peak seasons.

Off Season

Northwest monsoon season (December-March) brings warmer temperatures (26-33°C/79-91°F) with higher humidity and occasional brief but intense rainfall, rewarding visitors with significantly reduced rates and lush tropical landscapes.

Climate of Seychelles

Seychelles enjoys a tropical climate with warm temperatures year-round. The southeast trade winds (May-October) bring cooler, drier conditions with temperatures averaging 24-28°C (75-82°F), lower humidity, and calmer seas ideal for water activities. The northwest monsoon season (December-March) features warmer temperatures between 26-33°C (79-91°F), higher humidity, and briefly intense rainfall, typically in the afternoon, followed by sunshine. April and November represent transitional periods between these seasons. The islands lie outside the cyclone belt, ensuring relatively stable weather patterns throughout the year without extreme weather events.
