August is one of the coolest months for Port Louis and also one of the driest. The two combine to make this a great time to visit and while it might technically be winter, most places will continue to stay open unlike in other locations where attractions close during the winter season. Of course, because the island is in the tropics, it never gets too cold despite the winter season.
