Hi Alayna and EllaMay,
The island is very beautiful, it is the most amazing place I have ever been. The colours are fantastic, and the clear light really makes the whole place 3 dimensional. When we came back from the UK in October and walked on to the island it felt like someone was shinning a big spotlight on it, after very Britain to come here and was such a contrast. The island itself is very rugged and has lots of trees, when it rains at this time of year all the trees start to grow new leaves and so from the sea the island looks very green, with lots of different shades – lime, fresh new green, deep leathery bottle green, pale yellowy new green and lots and lots more. Then by contrast there is the beach and the sea, the beach is made up of silver sand so soft it feels like talcum powder between your toes and the sea is so blue it hurts your eyes – yes it certainly is beautiful.
Yep our buckets often get holes in, the bright sun and UV makes them very brittle.
Hi Danny and Byron
It really depend on the months as to how much rain we get, have a look at the graph below and you can see that our months of most rain are between November and March.
Comparison of the 2007 monthly rainfall figures from Aride with the averages for the previous 12 years.
Hi Gabby and Noy
Compared to the UK, it is very hot, we are very close to the Equator and at our hottest time in October, November it can be over 31˚C. Have a look at the table below which shows you the maximum and minimum temperatures, together with the total rainfall for last year.
Hi Emily and Bethany,
Aride Island is located in the middle of the Indian Ocean, have a look on a map and see which countries are next to us. Aride is in the small group of islands called the Seychelles, which on your map will probably look tiny in the idle of a very big ocean.
