The climate is predominantly sub-equatorial with two main  seasons. December to May in the Seychelles is hot with average  temperature reaching +29°C, while from June to November it is much  cooler with the average temperature around 24°C.

Dry season lasts from May to October when the southeast trade winds  (Southeast Monsoon) bring a relatively dry air. July-August is a peak  season with little precipitation and temperatures around 27°C. During  this period seas can be a little choppy.

By November, winds start to change, bringing light, warmer air and  indicating the start of the rainy season. From December to March with  Northwest Monsoon, Seychelles gets extremely wet, especially in January.  Though during this time the vegetation is lush, the winds are mostly  light and the sun is warmest. This is also the cyclone season, though  only the most remote southern islands are within the cyclone belt.

The best time for diving is spring from March to May and autumn from  September to November. From May to October is a great time for  windsurfing and sailing in Seychelles, but you may enjoy cruising on the  islands almost all year round.

The mixture of Indian, Southeast Asian, British and French  influences reflects itself in the blender of international and Creole  cuisine - fresh seafood, fruits and local spices. Octopus is frequently  seen on the menu and is very good in all forms (in salads or coconut  curries); red snapper is a favorite grilled dish and the adventurous  ones may try a fruit bat curry.

There is no other way to truly enjoy this piece of haven, but to hop  from one island to the next on a sailing boat, anchoring at snorkeling  or other spots of your desire. Beaches with rough currents will be  signposted, so watch for the warning. Many Marine National Parks invite  you to whale- shark sightings and turtle nesting sites, as well as to  explore rich underwater coral reefs with abundance of incredible sea  life. This country with astonishing beaches and tropical waters is one  big playground for diving, snorkeling, fishing, kayaking and etc. And  sailing will be the ultimate way to indulge the essence of this part of  the world.
