When to go to the Seychelles

Seychelles Travel Guide and Tips

The Seychelles are blessed with year-long warm, tropical weather. The climate is governed by the trade winds. From October to March winds from the north-west bring warmer weather and from May to September the easterly trade winds bring cooler, winder weather ideal for sailing.

The wind free months of April and October are the best months for diving and snorkelling, when the water is warmer and clearer.
