Meeting: when to go?
tropical humide climate
Réunion enjoys a tropical oceanic climate marked by two distinct seasons. The austral summer (November to April) is characterized by warm temperatures, high humidity and significant rainfall, with cyclonic risk from January to March. The austral winter (May to October) offers a drier and milder climate, ideal for discovering the island. Temperatures vary according to altitude: mild weather on the coasts (20-30°C) and coolness in the mountains (sometimes 5°C at Piton des Neiges). The west coast remains generally drier than the east. To make the most of hiking in the cirques, beach activities and clear skies, choose the May to November period. Cyclones, though rare, can disrupt stays between January and March.
