Your April weather guide
MildWeather in Andalucia in April
April is a good time to visit Andalucia for mild days outdoors, rather than a hot beach holiday. Average highs of 19°C make walking around comfortable, but nights around 12°C call for an extra layer. The sea is only about 16°C, so swimming is a cold prospect. Go if you prefer exploring without strong heat and can keep plans flexible around showers; choose a warmer month if swimming is central to your trip.

Daytime and night-time in April
The typical April day in Andalucia peaks at 19.2°C, but that is an average: the warmest 10% of days reach 22.7°C or more. Roughly 1 in 22 days top 25°C and 1 in 333 pass 30°C. Nights average 11.9°C; one night in ten drops to 9.4°C or lower, so pack a layer for evenings - it is genuinely cool after dark. Between 1991 and 2020 the hottest April day here reached 32.9°C (2017-04-18) and the coldest night 4.0°C (2019-04-06).

Some rain (4-8 rainy days): about 7 days with 1 mm or more, 46 mm in total. Year to year it varies a lot - the wettest April was 2008 with 188 mm, the driest 2001 with 1 mm. Humidity averages 69%.

Is April a good time to visit Andalucia?
April is not the strongest month here: mild days. The best months for Andalucia on our scoring are July, August, June; months averaging 25°C or more: Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep.
Comfortable days, but keep a layer handy
Pack for spring rather than summer. A light top may be enough during warmer parts of the day, but a jumper or jacket will be useful when you stop outdoors or stay out into the evening. The warmer days reach around 23°C or more, while the colder nights can fall to about 9°C or below. That makes layers more useful than a suitcase built entirely around shorts and sandals. April suits travellers who want to spend time outdoors without planning everything around midday heat. Even so, take sun protection: mild air does not mean you should leave it behind.
Enough sunshine for outdoor plans, with a wet-weather fallback
There is about 7.4 hours of sunshine within 13 hours of daylight, giving you scope for outdoor plans without expecting clear skies throughout the day. Rain falls on about 7 days, so bring a light waterproof and leave room to rearrange your schedule. A rainy day need not define the holiday, but a completely dry stay is not something to count on. By the coast, treat time beside the water separately from time in it: the sea is cold, even when the air feels pleasant. April is a better fit for sitting or walking by the sea than for travellers who want comfortable, lingering swims.
