Seychelles Islands : climate and when to go to La digue

What is the best time to go to the Seychelles? The Seychelles islands have a tropical warm and humid climate with strong maritime influences. The temperature during the day is constant between 82°F and 86°F.

There is no separate dry season to avoid a shower. Moisture is felt throughout the year. Precipitation increases with altitude, although it is the trade winds that rather impose the climate of the islands. Thus, from May to October, the trade winds of the southeast (monsoon of the South-East) bring a relatively dry period. The peak of tranquility to be the least watered is July / August, there is little precipitation with daytime temperatures of 82°F.

In November (pre-northwest monsoon), winds begin to change and bring warm winds, thus beginning the main rainy season.

Then from December to March (Northwest Monsoon), the Seychelles become extremely humid, especially on December and January, the vegetation is very lush and the sun peaks the skin. It is also the season of cyclones, but the cyclones hardly touch the Seychelles. The calm returns with the hottest month, April (pre-monsoon of the South), the winds calm and change direction.
