April Weather in Mauritius

April weather in Mauritius is characterized by slightly decreasing temperatures, humidity and rainfall. April is the last official month of summer in Mauritius. Temperatures and humidity subside as the month goes on, but remain hot through the entire month.

Tips:

While temperatures begin to fall slightly in April, the sea remains warm (after reaching its peak in March) making April a popular month for Sea Activities. Marine life is still very active during this month, making April an ideal time for a Glass Bottom Boat Ride.
Rainfall starts to decrease in April, but this decrease is most pronounced near the end of the month. This makes the end of April a better time for outdoor activities that take place in the mountainous parts of the island, such as Hiking in Tamarind Falls.
Cyclones are still a possibility in April, however they are less common than they are in January, February and March. Towards the end of the month, the threat diminishes considerably.

Temperature:
