Climate and Weather in Victoria, Seychelles

The climate of Victoria

What is the capital of Seychelles? Victoria is the capital of the Seychelles, an archipelago north of Madagascar in Africa. Victoria was founded by the British during the period when the Seychelles was a British colony. A number of colonial buildings and monuments remind of this period, such as the clock tower, which is based on the Vauxhall Clock Tower in London. About a third of the total population of the Seychelles lives in Victoria, making it by far the most important place in the Seychelles. Victoria is located on Mahé ; the largest island in the Seychelles.The tropical climate of Victoria ensures that it is always warm during the day and especially sultry at night. The minimum temperature rarely drops below 21 degrees. Usually the minimums are around 24-25 degrees. During the day the thermometer rises towards thirty degrees. Sometimes it gets a bit warmer, but afternoon temperatures rarely exceed 33-34 degrees. This is typical of places around the equator. Victoria has reasonable rainfall throughout the year, mainly in the form of showers. The local winter, which coincides with our summer, is the drier period; there will be less showers. Anyone traveling to Victoria during the summer holidays will therefore end up in the drier period. Because the driest month of July still has more than 60 millimeters of precipitation on average, this is a tropical rainforest climate. Within the Köppen climate system this is the Af climate.
