When to go on a Seychelles Trip

Located just south of the equator, the tropical islands of the Seychelles enjoy blissful temperatures pretty much 365 days of the year. Most of the islands miss out on those pesky tropical storms and cyclones (apart from the southernmost islands), and the whole area is malaria-free so no worries over medication either. But that’s not to say there isn’t some fluctuation in the weather! November to March is the wettest period in the Seychelles; think afternoon downpours and slightly higher temperatures. Afternoon downpours aren’t uncommon but there are also beautiful dry days too. April is the calmest month and then comes the winter ‘dry’ season from May to October. Travel now for picture-perfect days and balmy temperatures that hover around the 27-degree mark.
October is an extra special month in the Seychelles with the Festival Kreol, a lively celebration of music, dance, and mouthwatering Creole food. The wet seasons, between November and March, are warmer and more humid but the water is crystal clear, perfect for snorkeling and diving with visibility of up to 30 meters. The Seychelles also sit outside the cyclone belt, so storms are rare."
