Warm afternoons, cool evenings

April's warmth is generally comfortable rather than intense. Short sleeves are a reasonable choice for warmer afternoons, with a light layer ready for cooler spells. Days reaching 25°C account for just 9%, so do not plan around sustained heat or assume every afternoon will feel like summer. At the cooler end, nights can fall to 7.8°C or lower, making a proper jumper and long trousers useful for sitting outside after dark. This is a sensible month if strong heat puts you off travelling, but less suitable if your main aim is to stay warm from breakfast through to bedtime.

Plenty of outdoor time, with room for rain

About 7.9 hours of sunshine within 13.0 hours of daylight gives April plenty of scope for being outdoors without making every day depend on an early start. Rain is still a practical consideration: around 6 days receive measurable rain, so leave some flexibility in your plans. A light waterproof is more useful than packing only for sunshine, and covered alternatives are sensible for wet spells. The balance favours a holiday with time outside rather than one planned around uninterrupted sunbathing. Keep sun protection handy on bright days, but do not mistake a sunny forecast for a promise of warm evenings.

The sea is the main catch

At 17.9°C, the sea is cold, not comfortably warm for a leisurely swim. The April range of 17°C to 18°C also suggests that hoping for a warmer year will not greatly change that judgement. Keen cold-water swimmers may feel differently, but most travellers should treat sea swimming as optional rather than the centre of the holiday. Sunshine can make relaxing beside the water appealing while the water itself remains uninviting. If swimming matters, check pool heating before booking rather than assuming an outdoor pool will be comfortable. April works better for enjoying the coastal setting than for expecting summer-style days in the water.
