All Months
Réunion's seasons flip the script. April through November brings the dry season – cooler temperatures, less humidity, and clearer skies for hiking. This is peak time for the high country, when trails stay passable and views stretch to the horizon.
December through March is cyclone season. The weather gets hot, humid, and unpredictable. But here's the thing – this is when the waterfalls rage and the vegetation explodes in green. If you can handle afternoon downpours and the occasional flight delay, you'll have the island mostly to yourself.
July and August see French families descend for school holidays. Book accommodations early and expect crowds at popular beaches. But the weather stays perfect – 25°C on the coast, 15°C in the mountains.
Shoulders seasons (April-May and September-October) offer the sweet spot. Good weather, fewer crowds, and reasonable prices. The ocean stays warm from summer, perfect for water activities.
