The weather in November
At the northern weather station of Pamplemousses, a few kilometres inland, the November averages are 30 °C by day and 19.1 °C at night, 50 mm of rain over 8 days with at least 1 mm, and 8.7 hours of sunshine a day. Mont Choisy has no station of its own: it lies between this station and the drier west coast. The sea averages about 25 °C off Grand Baie.
November is part of the official cyclone season, from 1 November to 15 May. Most weeks pass without a cyclone; when one approaches, the weather service issues warnings in stages and the island stops for a day or two. Travel insurance covers it.
