Mauritius Weather Monday: Sun This Morning, Showers This Afternoon
A fine Monday morning in Mauritius will give way to cloudy skies and occasional showers across the east, south and central plateau by afternoon.
Monday 9 November starts on a bright note across Mauritius, with generally fine weather expected throughout the morning hours. However, conditions are set to change as the day progresses.
By the afternoon, cloud cover will increase and skies will turn partly to mostly cloudy. Occasional showers, carried by south-easterly winds, are expected to affect mainly the eastern coast, the south of the island and the central plateau region. The central plateau, which includes towns such as Curepipe, Vacoas and Rose-Hill, sits at higher elevation and regularly receives more rainfall than the coastal areas.
These intermittent showers are forecast to continue into the evening hours, so residents and visitors in the affected areas should be prepared for on-and-off rain during the second half of the day.
The north and west of the island, which are more sheltered from south-easterly weather systems, are likely to remain drier and experience more sunshine throughout the day.
Mauritius receives its weather forecasts and warnings from Meteo Mauritius, the national meteorological service operating under the Ministry of Energy and Public Utilities. The island sits in the south-western Indian Ocean and is exposed to weather systems arriving predominantly from the south-east during this time of year, ahead of the summer and cyclone season which typically runs from November to April.
Travellers and outdoor event planners in the east and south should factor in the likelihood of afternoon showers. Beach-goers on the sheltered western and northern coasts, including areas around Flic en Flac and Grand Baie, can expect better conditions for most of the day.
