June is the first month of winter since Port Louis is located in the Southern Hemisphere. However, because the island is located in the tropics, it never gets truly cold even though the calendar may say otherwise. As a result, now is good time to visit for those from colder areas in the Southern Hemisphere or even from places in the Northern Hemisphere that are sweltering in summer.
What's The Weather Like In Port Louis In June
Temperature
Overall, the average daily temperature is down to 21°C (70°F). Shorts and short sleeves are still needed in the afternoon, but visitors will need to bring trousers and a light jacket to fend off a slight chill early in the morning. The average overnight low for this time of the year is a cool 18°C (64°F). With a wind coming off the water, it can feel a little bit cooler early in the day. However, temperatures will quickly climb to an average high of 24°C (75°F).
Sunshine Hours
Thanks to the island's location near the tropics, there is still plenty of sun even during the winter. This sun can be strong and sunscreen is required if you are going to be spending considerable time outside soaking up the 8 average hours of sunshine per day.
Rain
With all the sun, rain chances are much lower with only 66mm of precipitation expected throughout the month. This rain falls over just 6 days throughout the month.

Water temperatures also stay very warm despite the season. The island is home to numerous beautiful beaches and now is a great time to take advantage of the still warm waters and enjoy snorkelling, scuba diving and more. The average water temperature for this time of the year is 25°C (77°F). This is perfect for those who want to spend time on both the numerous beaches and also in the waves.
