Weather Forecast: Mauritius on High Alert as Torrential Rain Bears Down
A weather warning is in effect for Mauritius until 7:00 PM tonight, due to a warm, humid, and unstable air mass affecting the region. The weather conditions will be characterized by active clouds, scattered showers, and moderate to locally heavy thunderstorms.
Forecast for the Next 24 Hours
We anticipate moderate to locally heavy showers across the island, accompanied by thunderstorms and potential water accumulation in vulnerable areas. Visibility will be reduced due to fog. Maximum temperatures will reach 26 to 29 degrees Celsius on the central plateau and 31 to 34 degrees Celsius on the coast. Minimum temperatures will range from 21 to 23 degrees Celsius in the highlands and 25 to 27 degrees Celsius in coastal regions.
Marine Forecast
Light and variable winds will strengthen with gusts during thunderstorms. The sea will be rough beyond the reefs, with southeasterly swells of approximately 2.50 meters. Offshore activities are discouraged.
Safety Tips
During heavy thunderstorms, it is recommended to:
- Seek shelter and avoid open plains, hiking, sea excursions, and seeking shelter under trees.
- Avoid areas prone to water accumulation.
- Exercise extreme caution on roads due to reduced visibility from heavy showers and fog.
