How is the weather in Mauritius in April and May ? I can go there in the middle of April, and then in the middle of May, but i dont know when is better weather. I have read in statistics that in May is hotter, but also a lot of rain. How is raining there in May - hours of raining, or just short rain, or night raining, and day is ok?
Second question is about a risk of the chikungunya virus - is it still there? Are there other rellevant risks of other deseases (strong diarrhea, malaria, dengue) ? Because i am going there with my 1 year old baby, so i have some worries...
Thanks for every advice

I would say mid May is better, prices start to come down, weather I have found has always been a bit better in May, although even in May you will still have some rainy days.
