Overview | ||
Mauritius exhibits a mild tropical climate influenced by its exposed island location. Warm ocean waters and trade winds contribute to maintaining warm and humid conditions year-round. Cooler breezes from the Indian Ocean have a moderating effect, creating a pleasant and stable climate that attracts tourists and supports diverse aspects of island life, such as agriculture, water resource management, and biodiversity. | ||
