Your November weather guide
November is a good month for Mauritius if you want warm days and comfortable sea temperatures, but not if you need reliably dry weather. Average daytime temperatures reach 28°C, the sea is 25°C and there are 10 rainy days across the month. That makes it a sensible choice for swimming and relaxed outdoor time, provided your plans can flex around rain. Flic en Flac is the better bet for fewer wet days; Belle Mare is slightly cooler.

Flic en Flac has the stronger weather case if your priority is warmth with fewer interruptions from rain. It averages 28°C by day and 8 rainy days, compared with 27°C and 13 rainy days in Belle Mare. The temperature difference is small, so the rain figures are the more useful distinction when choosing where to stay. Belle Mare suits travellers happy to accept more wet days for slightly cooler conditions, though it is still warm rather than cool. Swimming temperatures do not separate them: the sea averages 25°C in both. Neither choice guarantees dry weather, so keep outdoor plans flexible rather than committing everything in advance.
Pack mainly light clothing, with something practical for rain rather than treating November as a completely dry holiday. The country averages 7.3 hours of sunshine, so sun protection and access to shade remain important even with wet days in the forecast. Put more active outdoor plans in the cooler parts of the day if heat bothers you, and leave room to take it easy around midday. Evenings stay warm: average nights are 23°C in Flic en Flac and 22°C in Belle Mare, so heavy layers are unlikely to be useful for typical conditions. The catch is uncertainty around rain, not a lack of warmth.
