Lying close to the equator, the weather is generally warm and humid, but against all expectations the temperatures aren't very high because of the strong maritime influences, the annually average temperature being 29 degrees Celsius (84,2 degrees Fahrenheit) and with little variation between seasons. The frequent rainfalls are a characteristic of the equatorial climat and therefore in Seychelles the weather is pretty rainy, with more rain falling between November and January.
