After a very dry April, it eventually rained quite significantly and May 2008 turned out to
be very wet with a mean rainfall of 299 mm over Mauritius representing 188% of the
long term mean 1971-2000.
However, the first week was mainly dry followed by 4 rainfall episodes namely 08-12,
14-20, 23-24, and 29-31.
The second rainy episode was the most significant one where two active cold fronts
crossed the island on the 16 and the 19. Afterwards, easterly waves coupled with a
very unstable atmosphere contributed significantly to the bulk of precipitation. Over
some regions of the island, particularly to the south and over the central plateau,
moderate showers were frequent. There were even reports of thunder / lightning on the
14, 16 and 18 with water accumulation that affected crops in certain areas.
Actually the first half of May had only a mean rainfall of 58 mm representing 36 % of
the LTM and the second half had a mean of 228 mm representing 144% of the LTM.
Overall, all regions of the island had above normal precipitation with the windward side
of the central plateau recording the highest amount namely 492 mm. However, the
southwest had the highest percentage of rainfall, that is 273%.
