Your April weather guide
MildWeather in Magaluf in April
April is a good fit for Magaluf if you want mild weather for spending time outdoors, rather than a hot beach holiday. Average daytime highs of 17.6°C make light layers sensible, while nights around 13.6°C call for a jumper or jacket. The main catch is the sea: at 15.7°C, it is cold for swimming. Go for walks and time outside, but keep your expectations of sunbathing and sea dips modest.

How April compares
April is the 8th warmest month of the year in Magaluf. Within Spain it is 75th of 87 (Spain in April). Against London's average high of 13.5°C in April, Magaluf is 4.1°C warmer by day and 8.5°C warmer at night.
Daytime and night-time in April
The typical April day in Magaluf peaks at 17.6°C, but that is an average: the warmest 10% of days reach 20.1°C or more. Days over 25°C are rare. Nights average 13.6°C; one night in ten drops to 11.4°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 24.7°C (2018-04-24) and the coldest night 8.2°C (1991-04-22).
Rain in April
Some rain (4-8 rainy days): about 7 days with 1 mm or more, 37 mm in total. Year to year it varies a lot - the wettest April was 2020 with 94 mm, the driest 2015 with 1 mm. Humidity averages 74%.
Sea temperature in April
The sea averages 15.7°C - too cold for most (under 18°c). Depending on the year it ranges from 15.1°C to 16.4°C. For the warmest sea here, come in August (26.6°C).
Sunshine and daylight
Around 7.2 hours of sunshine a day (estimated from cloud cover), 13.1 hours of daylight: the sun rises about 07:13 and sets about 20:27 local time in mid-April. Average cloud cover is 45%.
Is April a good time to visit Magaluf?
April is not the strongest month here: mild days. The best months for Magaluf on our scoring are July, August, June; months averaging 25°C or more: Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep.
Mild days, cool evenings
Expect weather that suits walking more than lying still in swimwear. Warmer days can reach around 20°C, but that is not the everyday pattern, and April is not a reliable choice for summer heat. A T-shirt may be enough during a warmer spell in the sun; keep another layer handy for sitting outside or staying out into the evening. Cooler nights can fall to around 11°C or below, so packing only summer clothes would be a mistake. For a UK traveller happy to trade heat for milder conditions, April makes sense. If hot afternoons are the main reason for going, choose a different month.
Useful daylight, but a cold sea
There is room for outdoor plans, with about 7.2 hours of sunshine within 13.1 hours of daylight. That does not mean uninterrupted sun, so leave some flexibility rather than making every day depend on beach weather. Bring a light waterproof and shoes you are comfortable wearing if rain interrupts a walk. The sea is the bigger limitation for a swimming holiday: its year-to-year range of 15°C to 16°C stays firmly cold. Unless you already enjoy cold-water swimming, treat a dip as optional rather than the focus of the trip. April suits travellers who are content to spend time by the water without needing to get in.
