How this FAQ is built
Every guide is built on real data: Météo-France (the French national weather service) climate averages (1991-2020), cyclone season summaries published by cycloneoi.com and La 1ère Réunion, flight and hotel prices tracked over time, and activities drawn from the Sous Les Étoiles 974 catalogue.
Every month page includes a summary of the current cyclone season, a comparison with two reference months (May and September), a breakdown of the island's climate zones (west, wild south, east, highlands) and the same selection of activities as the activities page, all updated regularly.
