Time zone

Type of Climate: The Seychelles experiences a tropical climate that is consistently hot throughout the year. The period between November and March is characterized by a rainy and humid season resulting from the northwest monsoon, while the dry and relatively cooler season occurs from June to September, when the southeast trade winds dominate. Typically, tropical rains manifest as either thunderstorms or downpours, with the former occurring in the afternoon during the humid and rainy season, and at night in the dry season when they are short-lived but frequent.
July and August have an average daily temperature of about 26°C (79°F), while January records 27°C (81°F), and March, April, and May, which are the hottest months, record an average temperature of 28°C (82°F). The temperature variation is minimal throughout both the day and the year, with daytime temperatures rarely exceeding 33°C (91°F) and nighttime temperatures hardly dropping below 22°C (72°F).

Possible Means of Payment: Most hotels, restaurants, and shops in Seychelles accept major credit cards, such as Visa and Mastercard. Traveler's cheques are still accepted at some locations in Seychelles, but they are becoming less popular.
It's important to note that Seychelles is a cash-based society, and many establishments, especially smaller ones, do not accept credit cards. Occasionally GBP, EUR and USD may be used when paying in tourist areas, but the locals prefer the local currency and the exchange rate will not be very favourable.
