Weather in Mauritius in June
In June the south-east trade winds are well established. They push clouds against the relief: the south-east and the central plateau get frequent, often brief showers, while the west and north-west coasts, sheltered, have one of their driest months. Four official stations show these differences.
| Station | Max | Min | Rain | Rainy days | Sunshine (h/day) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Port Louis (north-west) | 27.6 °C (82 °F) | 19.9 °C (68 °F) | 24 mm (0.9 in) | 4 | – |
| Plaisance (south-east, airport) | 25.5 °C (78 °F) | 19.6 °C (67 °F) | 85 mm (3.3 in) | 13.2 | 5.7 |
| Vacoas (central plateau) | 23.1 °C (74 °F) | 16.8 °C (62 °F) | 102 mm (4.0 in) | 15.2 | 7.2 |
| Rodrigues (Pointe Canon) | 26.4 °C (80 °F) | 20.6 °C (69 °F) | 73 mm (2.9 in) | 13.2 | 6.8 |
Destination de Voyage calculation based on these normals: over a 7-day stay in June, you can expect on average about 1 day with rain in Port Louis, against 3 in Plaisance and 4 on the Vacoas plateau. Vacoas gets about 4 times more rain than Port Louis, but also has 7.2 hours of sunshine a day: showers there are frequent and short. The temperature gap between the north-west coast and the plateau reaches 4.5 °C (8 °F) in the afternoon (27.6 °C (82 °F) against 23.1 °C (74 °F)) and 3.1 °C (6 °F) at night.
June compared with May and July
| Month | Port Louis: max / min, rain | Plaisance (south-east): max, rain | Vacoas (centre): max / min, rain |
|---|---|---|---|
| May | 29.3 °C (85 °F) / 21.5 °C (71 °F), 48 mm (1.9 in) | 27.2 °C (81 °F), 116 mm (4.6 in) | 25.1 °C (77 °F) / 18.3 °C (65 °F), 123 mm (4.8 in) |
| June | 27.6 °C (82 °F) / 19.9 °C (68 °F), 24 mm (0.9 in) | 25.5 °C (78 °F), 85 mm (3.3 in) | 23.1 °C (74 °F) / 16.8 °C (62 °F), 102 mm (4.0 in) |
| July | 26.7 °C (80 °F) / 19.3 °C (67 °F), 18 mm (0.7 in) | 24.6 °C (76 °F), 86 mm (3.4 in) | 22.1 °C (72 °F) / 16.0 °C (61 °F), 118 mm (4.6 in) |
Destination de Voyage calculation: between May and June, rainfall halves in Port Louis (48 to 24 mm; 1.9 to 0.9 in) and falls by about 26% in Plaisance; the maximum temperature loses 1.7 °C (3 °F). July is slightly drier still on the north-west coast (18 mm (0.7 in)), but cooler (26.7 °C (80 °F)) and wetter in the east and centre (15.8 rainy days in Plaisance, 18 in Vacoas). June therefore offers a good balance: already very dry in the west, a little warmer than July, and ahead of the main northern-hemisphere summer holidays.
Which coast to choose in June
- West (Flic en Flac, Tamarin, Le Morne): the driest and the most sheltered from the wind; the logical choice for a beach stay, with sunsets over the sea.
- North (Grand Baie, Trou aux Biches): a climate close to Port Louis, calm lagoons and plenty of excursions to the islets.
- East and south-east (Belle Mare, Blue Bay, Mahébourg): windy and wetter in the southern winter (Plaisance station).
- South (Bel Ombre, Gris-Gris): the wildest coast, damper and windier in June.
- Rodrigues: 26.4 °C (80 °F) and 73 mm (2.9 in), about 6.8 hours of sunshine a day; see our page on Rodrigues.
Things to do in Mauritius in June
- Wind sports: if you kitesurf or windsurf, ask about wind conditions at insured schools. The UK FCDO advises checking that the water-sports operator holds a valid permit from the Ministry of Tourism (GOV.UK, updated 19 October 2026).
- Hiking: Le Morne Brabant, the Black River Gorges and Pieter Both are less hot than in summer; start early.
- Beach and west and north lagoons: swim in the lagoons and respect no-swimming signs.
- Sightseeing: Port Louis, the Pamplemousses garden, Chamarel, Grand Bassin and Curepipe on the plateau, with a jacket.
What to avoid in June
- A hotel on the east or south coast if your priority is sun and a calm sea
- Boat trips without checking the weather and the operator: the UK FCDO says the operator should hold a valid permit, the boat should carry enough life jackets and the captain should be able to contact the coastguard (GOV.UK, updated 19 October 2026)
- Setting off without a warm layer for the evenings and the central plateau

Before you go
For visas, passports and other formalities for US and UK citizens, see the entry requirements for Mauritius in our country guide. The UK FCDO notes that you must fill in the Mauritius All in One travel form online before you arrive (GOV.UK, updated 19 October 2026). The same advice says the tropical cyclone season usually runs from November to May, so June is outside it. Time difference: Mauritius is on UTC+4 all year; in June it is 3 hours ahead of London (UK summer time, UTC+1) and 8 hours ahead of New York (EDT, UTC-4). Currency: the Mauritian rupee; see our currency converter.
