One contrarian view: during June–August it's effectively 'winter' locally with a wind shift, making the ocean feel cold and uncomfortable to many visitors. This person recommends visiting instead in October–November or March–April, when temperatures reach around +29°C with minimal rainfall.

Weather in Seychelles is highly local: it can be raining in one part of an island while another is sunny and hot. Conditions may change noticeably within 20 minutes, so detailed forecasts should be treated as a guide rather than a certainty.
July and August are among the driest months of the year. Rain does occur, but only as brief tropical showers that pass quickly and don't disrupt beach time. Air and water temperatures stay around 25–27°C.
25–27°C, July–August
The southeast trade winds during June–August keep the heat manageable — temperatures reach 25–27°C but humidity is lower, making it far more comfortable than the hotter months. Many locals who struggle with intense heat actually prefer this season.
Southeast trade winds season
June is considered the coolest month in Seychelles. The ocean is slightly less warm than in other seasons but still perfectly comfortable for swimming. The main advantage is the absence of oppressive heat and high humidity.
June — coolest month
The concept of 'cold' barely applies to Seychelles — even in the coolest months it's still hot. The real difference between seasons is humidity and rainfall intensity, not temperature.
