November Weather in Seychelles SeychellesDaily high temperatures are around 85°F, rarely falling below 83°F or exceeding 88°F. Daily low temperatures are around 77°F, rarely falling below 75°F or exceeding 79°F. The lowest daily average low temperature is 77°F on November 26. For reference, on April 6, the hottest day of the year, temperatures in Seychelles typically range from 79°F to 88°F, while on July 31, the coldest day of the year, they range from 77°F to 82°F. The figure below shows you a compact characterization of the hourly average temperatures for the quarter of the year centered on November. The horizontal axis is the day, the vertical axis is the hour of the day, and the color is the average temperature for that hour and day. CloudsThe month of November in Seychelles experiences essentially constant cloud cover, with the percentage of time that the sky is overcast or mostly cloudy remaining about 55% throughout the month. The clearest day of the month is November 17, with clear, mostly clear, or partly cloudy conditions 46% of the time. For reference, on January 11, the cloudiest day of the year, the chance of overcast or mostly cloudy conditions is 73%, while on October 1, the clearest day of the year, the chance of clear, mostly clear, or partly cloudy skies is 49%. PrecipitationA wet day is one with at least 0.04 inches of liquid or liquid-equivalent precipitation. In Seychelles, the chance of a wet day over the course of November is essentially constant, remaining around 38% throughout. For reference, the year's highest daily chance of a wet day is 58% on December 29, and its lowest chance is 10% on July 26. RainfallTo show variation within the month and not just the monthly total, we show the rainfall accumulated over a sliding 31-day period centered around each day. The average sliding 31-day rainfall during November in Seychelles is essentially constant, remaining about 3.9 inches throughout, and rarely exceeding 7.9 inches or falling below 0.9 inches. SunOver the course of November in Seychelles, the length of the day is essentially constant. The shortest day of the month is November 1, with 12 hours, 16 minutes of daylight and the longest day is November 30, with 12 hours, 22 minutes of daylight. The earliest sunrise of the month in Seychelles is 5:52 AM on November 10 and the latest sunrise is 3 minutes later at 5:55 AM on November 30. The earliest sunset is 6:09 PM on November 1 and the latest sunset is 8 minutes later at 6:17 PM on November 30. Daylight saving time is not observed in Seychelles during 2024. For reference, on December 21, the longest day of the year, the Sun rises at 6:03 AM and sets 12 hours, 23 minutes later, at 6:27 PM, while on June 20, the shortest day of the year, it rises at 6:23 AM and sets 11 hours, 51 minutes later, at 6:14 PM. The figure below presents a compact representation of the sun's elevation (the angle of the sun above the horizon) and azimuth (its compass bearing) for every hour of every day in the reporting period. The horizontal axis is the day of the year and the vertical axis is the hour of the day. For a given day and hour of that day, the background color indicates the azimuth of the sun at that moment. The black isolines are contours of constant solar elevation. MoonThe figure below presents a compact representation of key lunar data for November 2024. The horizontal axis is the day, the vertical axis is the hour of the day, and the colored areas indicate when the moon is above the horizon. The vertical gray bars (new Moons) and blue bars (full Moons) indicate key Moon phases. The label associated with each bar indicates the date and time that the phase is obtained, and the companion time labels indicate the rise and set times of the Moon for the nearest time interval in which the moon is above the horizon.
HumidityWe base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night. The chance that a given day will be muggy in Seychelles is essentially constant during November, remaining around 100% throughout. For reference, on January 1, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 100% of the time, while on August 12, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 100% of the time. WindThis section discusses the wide-area hourly average wind vector (speed and direction) at 10 meters above the ground. The wind experienced at any given location is highly dependent on local topography and other factors, and instantaneous wind speed and direction vary more widely than hourly averages. The average hourly wind speed in Seychelles is decreasing during November, decreasing from 8.9 miles per hour to 7.7 miles per hour over the course of the month. For reference, on August 17, the windiest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 17.0 miles per hour, while on April 6, the calmest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 7.0 miles per hour. The lowest daily average wind speed during November is 7.7 miles per hour on November 24. The wind direction in Seychelles during November is predominantly out of the south from November 1 to November 21 and the west from November 21 to November 30. Water TemperatureSeychelles is located near a large body of water (e.g., ocean, sea, or large lake). This section reports on the wide-area average surface temperature of that water. The average surface water temperature in Seychelles is essentially constant during November, remaining around 83°F throughout. Growing SeasonDefinitions of the growing season vary throughout the world, but for the purposes of this report, we define it as the longest continuous period of non-freezing temperatures (≥ 32°F) in the year (the calendar year in the Northern Hemisphere, or from July 1 until June 30 in the Southern Hemisphere). Temperatures in Seychelles are sufficiently warm year round that it is not entirely meaningful to discuss the growing season in these terms. We nevertheless include the chart below as an illustration of the distribution of temperatures experienced throughout the year. Growing degree days are a measure of yearly heat accumulation used to predict plant and animal development, and defined as the integral of warmth above a base temperature, discarding any excess above a maximum temperature. In this report, we use a base of 50°F and a cap of 86°F. The average accumulated growing degree days in Seychelles are rapidly increasing during November, increasing by 898°F, from 3,681°F to 4,579°F, over the course of the month. Solar EnergyThis section discusses the total daily incident shortwave solar energy reaching the surface of the ground over a wide area, taking full account of seasonal variations in the length of the day, the elevation of the Sun above the horizon, and absorption by clouds and other atmospheric constituents. Shortwave radiation includes visible light and ultraviolet radiation. The average daily incident shortwave solar energy in Seychelles is essentially constant during November, remaining around 6.1 kWh throughout. TopographyFor the purposes of this report, the geographical coordinates of Seychelles are -4.583 deg latitude, 55.667 deg longitude, and 7 ft elevation. The topography within 2 miles of Seychelles is essentially flat, with a maximum elevation change of 0 feet and an average elevation above sea level of 0 feet. Within 10 miles is essentially flat (125 feet). Within 50 miles contains only modest variations in elevation (2,989 feet). The area within 2 miles of Seychelles is covered by water (100%), within 10 miles by water (100%), and within 50 miles by water (99%). Data SourcesThis report illustrates the typical weather in Seychelles, based on a statistical analysis of historical hourly weather reports and model reconstructions from January 1, 1980 to December 31, 2016.

DisclaimerThe information on this site is provided as is, without any assurances as to its accuracy or suitability for any purpose. Weather data is prone to errors, outages, and other defects. We assume no responsibility for any decisions made on the basis of the content presented on this site. We draw particular cautious attention to our reliance on the MERRA-2 model-based reconstructions for a number of important data series. While having the tremendous advantages of temporal and spatial completeness, these reconstructions: (1) are based on computer models that may have model-based errors, (2) are coarsely sampled on a 50 km grid and are therefore unable to reconstruct the local variations of many microclimates, and (3) have particular difficulty with the weather in some coastal areas, especially small islands. We further caution that our travel scores are only as good as the data that underpin them, that weather conditions at any given location and time are unpredictable and variable, and that the definition of the scores reflects a particular set of preferences that may not agree with those of any particular reader.
