There is always a risk of a cyclone hitting the island during the cyclone season (November to April). Most of the time Mauritius is hit by the tail end of cyclones, which bring heavy rain and windy conditions. If a class 3 or above cyclone hits the island directly you are not allowed outside and your holiday could be severely effected. Most holidays to Mauritius are cyclone free, but it’s best to be aware that they do happen. Check the Mauritius Meteorological Services website for updates and warnings.
