The
winters (June to August) are mild to warm, the daytime temperatures on
average are over 20°C, and the probability of
rain is low. The nights are also warm and often
humid.
Swimming is good
in the Indian Ocean throughout the year.
For some people the best time to visit
is between autumn and spring when there's
less humidity and temperatures are lower.
