Field notes
Southern-hemisphere tropical — austral summer (December–March, 26–28°C) is the wettest hottest stretch and the cyclone-season window (Mauritius sits in the Indian-Ocean cyclone belt; direct hits average roughly once every 2–3 years). Austral winter (June–September, 21–23°C) is the postcard season — dry, breezy, and genuinely cool by tropical standards. Sea-water temperatures stay swimmable year-round but the lagoon is calmest in the dry winter window. Trade winds blow steadily from the southeast.
