Your April weather guide
MildWeather in Ibiza in April
Ibiza in April suits a mild-weather break rather than a hot beach holiday. Average daytime highs of 19.8°C make being outdoors comfortable, but nights around 13.1°C call for an extra layer. The main catch is the sea: at 15.8°C, it is cold for swimming. Go if you want to spend time outside without strong heat and can keep plans flexible around some rain. Choose a warmer month if swimming is central to your trip.

Daytime and night-time in April
The typical April day in Ibiza peaks at 19.8°C, but that is an average: the warmest 10% of days reach 23.0°C or more. Roughly 1 in 71 days top 25°C. Nights average 13.1°C; one night in ten drops to 10.8°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 27.1°C (2011-04-09) and the coldest night 7.6°C (2004-04-14).
Rain in April
Some rain (4-8 rainy days): about 5 days with 1 mm or more, 27 mm in total. Year to year it varies a lot - the wettest April was 2019 with 72 mm, the driest 2015 with 2 mm. Humidity averages 66%.
Sea temperature in April
The sea averages 15.8°C - too cold for most (under 18°c). Depending on the year it ranges from 15.2°C to 16.6°C. For the warmest sea here, come in August (26.5°C).
Sunshine and daylight
Around 7.7 hours of sunshine a day (estimated from cloud cover), 13.0 hours of daylight: the sun rises about 07:18 and sets about 20:31 local time in mid-April. Average cloud cover is 41%.
Is April a good time to visit Ibiza?
It is a reasonable choice: mild days. The best months for Ibiza on our scoring are July, June, August; months averaging 25°C or more: Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep.
Pleasant afternoons, but pack for cooler evenings
Pack light layers rather than relying on summer clothes throughout your stay. The warmest days reach 23°C or more, so a sheltered spot in the sunshine may feel warm enough for sitting out in short sleeves. That is not the same as dependable beach heat: only 1% of days reach 25°C. Once the sun goes down, a jumper or light jacket is a sensible choice, especially if you plan to eat outside. The coldest nights fall to 10.8°C or lower. April therefore works well if you prefer moving around in mild weather, but less well if you want warmth from morning until bedtime.
Useful sunshine, some rain and a cold sea
With about 7.7 hours of sunshine within 13 hours of daylight, April gives you plenty of scope for outdoor plans, though not uninterrupted blue skies. About 5 rainy days means it is sensible to bring a light waterproof and leave room to swap plans when rain arrives. Time beside the sea is a more comfortable prospect than time in it: the water stays cold, with a year-to-year range of 15°C to 17°C. Keen swimmers should take that seriously rather than judging the water by a sunny afternoon. For everyone else, April is better approached as a month for fresh air and relaxed time outdoors than for long swims.
