Mauritius

What's the weather like in Mauritius in July?

Sitting in the Indian Ocean off the southeast coast of Africa, Mauritius has warm weather all year round and you'll get lots of sun if you're going in July. The island nation’s close to the Tropic of Capricorn, which gives it a tropical climate with two distinct seasons. The dry season’s from June until November, which is a bit cooler than summer. The surrounding sea helps keep humidity and temperatures down, so you'll be nice and comfortable. The north and west have warmer and drier weather than the south and east because of Mauritius’ mountains, while you'll generally be warmer on the coast than inland.

Averages

The average high in Mauritius is 25ºC in July, which cools to quite a pleasant 17ºC at night. The sea temperature’s 24ºC, so it’s lovely for swimming, while humidity’s low. Average rainfall’s 83mm over 15 rainy days, and you can expect 11 hours of daylight with seven hours of sunshine each day. UV levels will be high so don’t forget your sun cream.
