The weather today in Mauritius is shaping up to be mild and mostly dry, with morning temperatures around 21°C along the coasts and a cooler 16–18°C up on the central plateau. As the sun climbs, expect highs of 26–28°C near the beaches, with 22–23°C in the highlands.
Winds from the southeast will hover around 22–25 km/h — strong enough to rustle the palms and keep things fresh, especially along the east coast. The sea remains warm at around 26°C, but it may get a little choppier by the afternoon in exposed areas.
Rain? Only a sprinkle.
A few light showers could sneak into the south and central plateau late in the day, but overall the weather will stay on your side. If you’re out hiking or exploring the coast, no need to pack much more than a light windbreaker.

Regional Forecast – May 26
North Coast (Grand Baie, Pereybere):
Morning clouds clear quickly. The lagoon is calm, perfect for a dip or a lazy paddle.
North-West (Mont Choisy, Trou aux Biches):
Possibly the best weather on the island today — sunny, warm, and little to no wind. Ideal for a snorkel or long beach lunch.
Port Louis & Surroundings:
Partly cloudy early on, but clears by midday. Breezy in the harbour by late afternoon.
West Coast (Flic en Flac, Tamarin):
Sunshine all day and light breeze. This is the place to go if you want a long, peaceful beach stretch.
South-West (Le Morne):
Slightly hazy in the morning, then brightening up by noon. Surf builds slightly in the afternoon — good for experienced board riders.
South Coast (Bel Ombre):
Expect a few clouds and possible sprinkles in the late afternoon. Winds are stronger here, so ocean dips are not advised today.
Blue Bay, Mahebourg:
A slow-clearing morning followed by sun and breezes. The lagoon stays calm, but waves grow just beyond the reef.
East Coast (Belle Mare, Trou d’Eau Douce):
Stronger southeast winds bring mild surf. The weather stays fair, but it’s best to enjoy the view from the sand.

High Tide: 11:35 & 23:37 Low Tide: 17:25 & 17:29
Tuesday, May 27: Sunshine, Softer Winds, Better Sea
Tuesday’s weather brings a smoother version of Monday. Warmer by a degree or two and noticeably calmer in terms of wind, it’s the perfect island day — for swimmers, strollers, or those who just want to sit back with a cocktail and a view.
Morning temperatures start around 20–21°C and climb to a mellow 27–28°C in coastal zones. A few clouds drift in early, particularly in the south, but they’ll clear by late morning.
Rain chances are low — perhaps a brief shower in the south before 9 a.m., but it won’t linger.
