Average monthly wind speed in Le Morne

The mean monthly wind speed over the year in Le Morne (Rodrigues), Mauritius.

These figures come from monthly climatological averages showing that Le Morne sees peak wind speeds of 7 m/s (14 knots) during its windiest period and minimum speeds of 5 m/s (10 knots) during its calmest season.

An average wind speed of 5 m/s (10 knots) in January and February means the wind is quite constant and noticeable for much of the month. There may still be stronger gusts or calmer moments, but windy conditions are the norm. Larger branches would start swaying, and dust, leaves, and small objects would often blow around.

For outdoor activities, you’d likely feel the wind frequently pushing against you. It could make, for example, running or cycling more tiring. Still, it's not so strong that it becomes uncomfortable. The average speed is around 18 km/h or 11 mph. At this speed, wind- and kitesurfing become very enjoyable.
