Rodrigues in April
Great time to visit
April delivers what many consider perfect weather for Rodrigues. The oppressive heat lifts, humidity drops, and you can actually enjoy being outdoors all day without wilting.
Weather
April marks the sweet spot as temperatures drop to comfortable levels and humidity becomes bearable. The southeast trade winds blow steadily, keeping things fresh. Rain becomes occasional rather than daily, with beautiful clear spells between showers.

All Months
April through November is prime time. The weather stays dry, temperatures hover around 25°C, and trade winds keep things comfortable. But here's the thing — different months suit different travelers.
April and May offer the calmest seas for diving and snorkeling. The lagoon is like glass, perfect for spotting rays and reef sharks. June through September brings stronger winds that make kitesurfing and windsurfing incredible, especially at Mourouk Beach where international competitions happen.
October and November give you the best of both worlds — decent winds for water sports but calm enough for beach days. December through March is cyclone season. The island rarely gets direct hits, but rain can wash out entire days and rough seas cancel boat trips.
