Warm days without summer heat

Expect pleasant warmth rather than hot afternoons. La Gomera's average daytime high is 7.8°C above London's in April, so the difference should feel noticeable without making daytime activity uncomfortable for most travellers. Only 3% of days reach 25°C, which is the main catch if you want proper summer heat. Light clothing should suit much of the day, though a light jumper is sensible when sitting outside after dark. Nights average 18.3°C, but the coldest 10% fall to 16.2°C or below. April suits travellers who prefer being outdoors in moderate warmth more than those looking for consistently hot beach weather.

Plenty of sun, but swimming takes more resolve

Rain is unlikely to dominate your plans: April has about 2 rainy days, so keeping outdoor plans flexible is more useful than packing for a wet holiday. Around 9.1 hours of sunshine within 12.7 hours of daylight gives you plenty of time outside, and sun protection still matters even when the air feels mild. The sea is the bigger compromise. At an average of 19.5°C, it is bracing rather than comfortably warm, with year-to-year averages ranging from 19°C to 20°C. If you enjoy cooler water, a dip may appeal; if you like to linger in a warm sea, April is not a strong fit.
