Weather: Heavy swell warning in effect until 4 p.m.

A high swell warning is in effect in Mauritius, valid until 4 p.m. this afternoon. The strong anticyclone to the southwest of the Mascarenes is causing rather windy and cold weather in our region, indicates the weather station in its bulletin issued this Wednesday morning.

The sea is rough to very rough beyond the reefs with swells from the southern sector of around 4 meters. These waves will also influence the lagoons, mainly from the South-West, South and East and could break along low-lying coastal areas during high tides.

Fishermen, boaters and the general public are strongly advised not to go out to sea and not to venture along these beaches.

Forecast for the next 24 hours:

The weather will be fine this morning and in the afternoon.

The maximum temperature will vary between 21 and 23 degrees Celsius on the central plateau and between 25 and 28 degrees Celsius on the coast.

The sky will become rather cloudy overnight with intermittent rain, especially in the East, South and on the central plateau.

The minimum temperature will vary between 15 and 17 degrees Celsius on the central plateau and between 19 and 22 degrees Celsius in the coastal regions.

The wind blows from the southeast at around 25 km/h with gusts reaching 55 km/h in exposed places.
