Comfortable days, but pack for cooler evenings

April's warmth is useful for travellers who find summer heat tiring, but it is not reliable T-shirt weather throughout the day. The warmest days reach 22.1°C or more, while colder nights can fall to 10.3°C or below. Pack light layers that you can remove when the sun comes out, along with trousers and a jacket for evenings. Keep outdoor meals flexible rather than assuming you will be comfortable sitting outside late. Midday is a sensible time to enjoy the warmth, rather than something you need to avoid because of intense heat. This is a better fit for active days than a holiday built around getting hot.

Enough sunshine to enjoy, with room for showers

With about 7.2 hours of sunshine within 13.1 hours of daylight, April gives you plenty of scope to spend time outdoors, though that does not mean clear skies all day. Around 7 rainy days make a light waterproof a sensible addition to your bag. Leave some flexibility in your plans so you can use brighter spells for longer outings and change course when rain arrives. The averages do not tell you how showers will fall during your stay, so neither a completely dry break nor a washout should be assumed. It suits travellers happy to adjust the day rather than rely on uninterrupted sunshine.

The sea is the main compromise

The sea remains cold in April, with temperatures ranging from 15°C to 16°C between years. That is well below the 22°C threshold for comfortable swimming, so a pleasant afternoon on land should not be mistaken for warm water. If swimming is central to your holiday, April is a poor match unless you already enjoy cold-water conditions. Time beside the sea is a more realistic focus than lingering in it. For a trip centred on warmth, June, July and August are the stronger choices overall, though April's milder days may appeal more if you prefer being active without summer heat.
