Weather Alert: Heavy Rain Warning in Effect Until 10 PM

In a reminder of nature’s unpredictable temperament, the Mauritius meteorological station has issued a severe weather bulletin for the island of Mauritius, effective from 4:30 AM on Tuesday, 8th April 2025, and lasting until 10 PM. The forecast paints a picture of persistent humidity and instability in the atmosphere, with clouds sweeping in from the north-east, poised to disrupt the local weather intermittently.

Throughout the day and into the late evening, residents can expect moderate to locally heavy showers, accompanied by thunderstorms that may rattle the tranquillity of the island.

In light of these foreboding conditions, authorities urge the public to adhere to essential safety guidelines during these stormy spells:

• Seek shelter and avoid open plains, hiking trails, and maritime activities, as well as staying clear of trees and other tall structures that may pose a risk.
• Steer clear of areas prone to water accumulation, where flooding could occur.
• Exercise caution on the roads, as visibility may be severely compromised due to the downpours and fog.

As the skies darken and the winds pick up, do remain vigilant and prioritise safety in the face of nature’s fury.
