Mauritius in September

Climate

September has the lowest rainfall of any month in Mauritius which means plenty of sunshine for long beach days. Day time temperatures are in the low 20s and night time temperatures drop to about 18C – bring along a sweater or jacket for nights.

Highlights of the month/disadvantage + advantages

September is still low season in Mauritius, so it’s a great time to travel for quiet beaches, good prices on flights and discounts on hotels. It’s a good month for kite surfing and surfing.

Père Laval Feast Day is on the 9th of September, a Christian holy day when pilgrims travel to the shrine of Ste-Croix in Port Louis to ask for miracles.

In September or October, the festival Ganesh Chathurti see Mauritian Hindus celebrating the god Ganesh with elaborate feasts.
