Heavy Rain Watch: A Stormy Weather Awaits in Mauritius
A Heavy Rain Watch has been officially issued for Mauritius today, Monday 10 March 2025, at midday, remaining valid until 7 PM. The atmospheric conditions are ripe for the development of active cloud formations in our region.
Localised moderate showers are anticipated, particularly over the island’s Western regions and the Central Plateau.
Be warned: these showers may intensify, bringing along the threat of thunderstorms that could lead to heavy rain in certain areas.
The implications of this weather system are serious—they may result in significant water accumulation, especially in areas already prone to flooding.
Moreover, visibility across various regions may deteriorate due to the presence of fog and persistent showers.
In light of these developments, the public is urged to take the following precautions:
- Stay in safe indoor locations and avoid open areas, hiking routes, and especially refrain from seeking shelter beneath trees during thunderstorms.
- Steer clear of low-lying areas that are vulnerable to water accumulation.
- Exercise extreme caution when driving; the reduced visibility could present dangerous conditions on the roads.
Stay safe, Mauritius, and heed these warnings as the weather unfolds.
