Warm afternoons, but keep a layer for evenings

April suits travellers who enjoy warmth but would rather not have every afternoon feel hot. Days reach 25°C on 53% of occasions, while 17% reach 30°C, so allow for some hotter spells rather than assuming mild weather throughout. The warmest days can reach around 31°C or more, making a shaded break at midday sensible. Loose, light clothing works for daytime, but bring trousers and a jumper or light jacket for evenings. The coldest nights can fall to around 7°C or below. If you tend to feel the cold, that evening layer deserves space in your bag even when the daytime forecast looks warm.

Mostly dry weather with plenty of usable daylight

Rain is unlikely to shape most of your plans: April has about 2 rainy days, so sun protection is a more pressing packing priority than waterproofs. There are about 8.8 hours of sunshine within 12.9 hours of daylight, giving you room to spend time outdoors without putting everything into the warmest part of the day. Use mornings for longer walks and take breaks in shade when the afternoon feels hot. Humidity averages 24%, so expect dry air rather than muggy conditions; carry water and consider lip balm or moisturiser if dryness bothers you. A light waterproof is a precaution, not the focus of your luggage.
