During the cyclone

  • Enjoy time indoors: Once a Class 3 or 4 warning is in place, it’s best to stay indoors and cozy up with your loved ones or a good book. The island is well-prepared for cyclones, so take this time to relax while nature passes by.

  • Stay safe away from windows: It’s always smart to keep away from windows, but with modern homes built to withstand storms, you’ll be safe inside.

After the cyclone passes

  • Await the all-clear: After the storm, wait for the authorities to give the green light before heading out to explore again. It’s always better to be cautious, but usually, it’s back to the sunshine and blue skies soon after!

With efficient infrastructure and a robust early warning system, Mauritius remains a safe and wonderful destination, even during cyclone season. You’ll be amazed at how quickly the island returns to its vibrant self!
