As The Manta Resort is located very close to the equator the temperature and climate is very stable. The western Indian Ocean is dominated by two monsoon winds. The KazKazi comes southwards from December till April. Then the Kusi arrives in April and blows back north till October. Then we have two mini seasons between these monsoons when the wind blows very gently as the seasons change. The light rains are in November but usually are brief showers between long stretches of sunshine. The beginning of each new season brings rains. The heavy rains fall between late April and early June. The hottest season is January and February but there is usually a refreshing sea breeze. Daytime temperatures usually vary between 26 and 32 degrees centigrade.
