Best time to go to Seychelles

Temperatures in this part of the world don’t fluctuate much – with the mercury bobbing between 25 and 30°C all year round. So, if you’re looking for the best time to visit the Seychelles, the answer is, whenever you fancy. The months between May and October are a little cooler, thanks to trade winds. And the period between November and April is slightly hotter and more humid, with more chance of rain. But, with a setting just seven degrees south of the equator, you’re still looking at beach weather, no matter the month.
