Weather in Seychelles in June

Is June a good time to visit Seychelles?

June in the beautiful Seychelles islands is on the cusp of the dry season, meaning holiday-makers face little threat of rain to mar their enjoyment of the pristine beaches, but there could be some windy days. Avoid the south-east facing beaches, where wind is likely to be the strongest. The relentless tropical sun, however, means there is little respite from the heat and expect to feel sweaty as humidity is still prevalent. For fun in the sun and sea, there can be no better destination, all year round.
