The weather in Mauritius at the end of December is quite hot and humid with frequent afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Normally the wet season begins in Mauritius by the end of the second week of December but there is much year-to-year variability. The far eastern coastal region as well as the inland mountainous areas of Mauritius tend record the most rain at the end of December followed by the southern coastal fringe. These areas are exposed to the moist south easterly trade winds and as such are the first places that record rain if a cloud moves in from the south east off the ocean. The western side of Mauritius typically records most of its rain due to surface convection and its interaction with the sea breeze. The temperatures at night normally drop down to about 21-22°C and rise to maximum temperature of between 29-30°C during this time. On most days it's likely that there will be a sea breeze and so it can get windy over most coastal areas on the eastern and southern sides of Mauritius during the afternoon. The south easterly trade winds are not normally strong at the end of December since high pressure systems that initiate their formation are quite weak during the summer months.

The best time to go to Mauritius for hot weather is during the summer months of November to April, when temperatures are at their highest and rainfall is lower. These months also offer ideal conditions for enjoying the beaches and water activities.
