Climate & Weather Guide in Seychelles
Climate zones, seasonal temperatures, rainfall patterns, and best travel times
Seychelles has a hot, humid tropical maritime climate with very small seasonal temperature changes. Typical daily temperatures stay near 24-30 C year-round, while sea temperatures remain warm and conditions are moderated by monsoon and trade winds. The country is generally wetter from December to February and relatively drier from June to August, but rain can occur in any month. For residents and expats, this means a consistently warm, beach-oriented climate with high humidity, bright sunshine between showers, and little need for heating. The main practical considerations are moisture, occasional heavy rain, and wind exposure rather than cold weather.
