Climate: The Seychelles has a tropical climate. The rain season starts in October and finishes in March with temperatures around 30°C and a humid atmosphere which is influenced by the North-West trade wind. A cooler season extends from April to September; the South-West trade wind brings more breeze and cooler temperatures of around 22°C. The inter-season periods are often more pleasant to visit the Seychelles and will also allow you to avoid the busy months of December, July and August.
