Expect steady heat, with little relief at night

Grenada's average April daytime high is 14.2°C above London's, so expect a marked change from home. Temperatures reach 25°C every day in the figures, while 30°C is unusual rather than the norm. That makes April a sensible choice if you want consistent warmth without chasing the island's hottest conditions. Still, humidity averages 77%, so walking around can feel sticky and midday is a sensible time to ease off. Pack loose, breathable clothing and prioritise shade when making plans. Nights average 25.4°C, so don't expect a cool evening reset; accommodation with effective cooling is worth prioritising if warm nights disturb your sleep.

Allow for rain and cloud, not just sunshine

April suits travellers who can leave some flexibility in their plans. There are about 8 rainy days, so rain is a real possibility rather than something to dismiss when packing. Bring a light waterproof that won't feel cumbersome in the heat, and avoid making every day depend on dry weather. Sunshine averages about 5.4 hours within 12.3 hours of daylight: there is ample time to be outside, but daylight does not mean uninterrupted sun. These figures don't tell you when rain will arrive or how long it will last. Keep outdoor plans adaptable rather than assuming mornings or afternoons will reliably be dry.
