The Seychelles have a tropical climate producing a combination of moderately high temperatures and humidity, which is tempered by regular daytime sea breezes. Whilst tropical in location the Seychelles are north of the Indian Ocean’s cyclone belt and consequently they are rarely if ever affected by tropical cyclones. The climate of the Seychelles can be divided into two seasons, which are directed by the two trade winds are experienced.
The South East Trade Winds are prevalent from May to September when it will be drier, breezier, and slightly cooler than during the remainder of the year.
The North West Trade Winds are prevalent from October to April. This is a much calmer breeze, which results in increased humidity and calmer seas.
Higher rainfall occurs during this time of year. The transition periods of April and October tend to be the calmest and hence the best visibility for divers but diving is possible throughout the year.
As tropical islands close to the equator, the Seychelles experience quite a lot of rain at all times of the year, but this mostly occurs in brief showers followed again by tropical sunshine, hence the lush green vegetation
