Seychelles Travel Guide - Climate

The islands lie outside the cyclone belt but receive monsoon rains from November to April with the northwest trade winds. This hot and humid season gives way to a period of cooler weather, though the temperature rarely falls below 23°C (73°F), and rougher seas when the trade winds blow from the southeast (May to October).

Tropical lightweights, with rainwear advisable during the rainy season. Sun hats and sunglasses essential all year round.
