January weather forecast
Reunion

January in Reunion is at the height of the austral summer, making it one of the hottest months of the year. In coastal areas, temperatures typically range from 25°C (77°F) to 30°C (86°F). The inland regions are somewhat cooler, with temperatures varying from 19°C (66.2°F) to 24°C (75.2°F).

One of the island's principal cities, Saint-Denis, located on the northern coast, experiences similar weather patterns, with high temperatures and considerable humidity. Saint-Pierre, situated on the southern coast, also follows these temperature patterns but might experience slightly cooler conditions due to its location.

January is also one of the wettest months in Reunion. The eastern coast and mountainous areas experience the most rainfall, with some locations recording precipitation levels as high as 350mm (13.78") to 500mm (19.69"). The western coast, in contrast, receives significantly less rainfall, illustrating the dramatic difference in weather conditions across the island.

Moreover, January falls within the cyclone season, which typically extends from November to April. Thus, the island may experience extreme weather conditions, including high winds and heavy rainfall, associated with cyclones.

When compared to December, January has similar temperature ranges, but the rainfall can increase significantly due to the peak of the cyclone season. As the island transitions to February, similar weather conditions persist, although the chance of cyclones slightly decreases towards the end of the month.
