Seychelles in March — Full Picture
March is one of the more settled months as the northwest monsoon winds down. It averages around 31°C/25°C with rainfall easing further (roughly 180-200mm) and the winds growing light during the seasonal transition.
The slackening winds and calm, warm seas make March a favourite for divers and snorkellers — visibility is often excellent, and exposed coasts settle down. It's among the warmest months for sea temperature.
The UV is intense near the equator (index 11-12), so strong reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, and shade in the middle of the day matter more than the air temperature suggests.
This is a transitional, generally good-value month before the drier season fully sets in. Showers still occur but are lighter and less frequent than mid-wet-season. A solid choice if you want calm water and fewer crowds.
What to Wear & What to Pack
Warm, with rain continuing to ease and winds light as the season transitions — around 31°C/25°C. Lightweight clothing, swimwear, strong reef-safe SPF 50+ (very high UV), hat and sunglasses.
