What you gain in April

  • 29°C and 8.5 sunshine hours with only 57mm of rain — still firmly in the dry season and reliably suitable for all outdoor activities.
  • Moderate crowd levels mean popular sites like the Capitolio Nacional and Castillo de la Real Fuerza are accessible without the January crush.
  • Affordable prices across casas particulares and paladares as the peak tourist season eases off.

What you sacrifice

  • Humidity is beginning to climb (76%) and temperatures are ticking toward the summer heat — midday is starting to feel sticky.
  • The rainy season is approaching; May's 119mm is only a month away, and late April can see the first significant showers.
  • Few major events this month; atmosphere is pleasant but culturally quieter than July or December.
