Mauritius enjoys a tropical maritime climate and has two seasons: summer and winter. The hot summer months start from November and end in April producing temperatures of up to 35°C (95°F) on the coastal regions with the occasional short bursts of rainfall. From May to October, cooler conditions are accompanied by temperatures of up to 25°C (77°F) with cooler nights and less humidity. The South-East trade winds blow all year keeping the south and east coasts cool during the summer months. Cyclones, known as hurricanes or typhoons in the northern hemisphere occur occasionally between December and April times. Mauritius has various weather stations that track their route and warnings that a cyclone could develop are broadcasted normally days in advance. Mauritius has a good year round climate for visitors but for those who like to walk, tour and explore, the best time to visit is October and November. These are the driest months and provide less humidity than that of mid summer.
