This Friday begins with a touch of unpredictability, as scattered clouds move west-southwest from the Morne region, gradually pulling away from the island. Over the ocean to the east, a larger cloud mass is forming, but it is not expected to bring heavy rain and will likely dissipate as the day progresses.
Although the atmosphere remains humid and unstable, the main zone of instability is shifting toward Réunion, where thunderstorms and downpours are more likely today. In Mauritius, we can expect warmer and mostly fair weather.
Regional Weather Forecast
The Central Plateau is expected to be cloudy in the morning, but without any severe conditions. If heavy rainfall occurs today, it will most likely affect the southern half of the island—particularly Riambel and St Félix. Temperatures may peak around 35°C in some locations such as Port Louis, Rivière Noire, and St Félix.
Winds will blow from the northeast at around 18 km/h.
Weekend Outlook
The weather over the weekend is expected to be mostly fair. If it rains, it will likely be light and scattered, not widespread. Saturday evening might bring brief showers, but nothing extreme is forecast.
