Mauritius in December

 

December always seems to come around quickly, and along with the usual festive activities we’re looking forward to some sultry weather and time on the beach. Visitors can expect high-season temperatures of around 28–30 degrees celsius with nine hours of sunshine per day. Humidity will be fairly high but brief tropical rainshowers can be relied upon to clear the air. Keen diver or snorkeller? The period between December and March offers the clearest waters of the year.
