Monthly Temperature Guide

Peak Season

Months: May, June, July, August, September, October

Conditions: May through October offers the most reliably perfect conditions with temperatures around 81-84F, cooling trade winds, and minimal rainfall. The southeast trade winds (May-September) bring slightly cooler temperatures and choppier seas on the southeastern coasts but create ideal conditions for sailing. This period represents the absolute pinnacle of Indian Ocean luxury travel, with crystalline waters offering exceptional visibility for snorkeling and diving.

Peak season offers optimal weather conditions but expect higher prices and larger crowds. Book accommodations and activities well in advance for the best Seychelles, Africa experience.

Shoulder Season

Months: April, November
