Climate overview of the Seychelles
The area where tropical depressions and hurricanes occur during hurricane season is located just below the Seychelles. This means the islands may experience significant rainfall due to hurricane activity south of the Seychelles between December and May. December until March officially belong to the rainy season, with especially a lot of precipitation in the months of December and January. In addition to the large amount of precipitation these are also very warm and humid months. The best time to visit the Seychelles is from March to November, when you have a pleasant or warm temperature and hardly any or moderate precipitation. April and May are the warmest months of the year, since there is not much wind.
