A comprehensive guide on how to keep safe during heavy and torrential rain in Mauritius
Torrential rain is a regular feature of life in Mauritius, particularly during the rainy season from November to April.

Staying informed and prepared is vital, as rapidly changing weather conditions demand quick adaptation. This guide explains the risks posed by torrential rain, outlines essential safety measures, and offers practical advice to protect yourself and your loved ones.
