August sees the Seychelles under the influence of the Southeast monsoon with fairly lively breezes that can cause choppy seas on Southeast facing coastlines. Temperatures average 26 degrees with rainfall of 120 mm.

Dry conditions prevail across the islands and this is a popular time for holidays to the Seychelles.

August is peak season in the Seychelles with hotel prices at their highest. Booking early is advisable, especially for family accommodation.
