Where's hot in April?

You don’t have to travel halfway across the globe for some springtime sunshine. Temperatures in the Algarve reach highs of 23°C, with nine hours of sunshine, so you’ll be warm enough to switch between sunbathing, sightseeing and a spot of golf. The Algarve, in the south of Portugal, is sheltered from wind and rain by the mountains in the north, so you can expect warmer and drier weather here. Albufeira covers both sides of the coin – its old town’s lined with cute cafés and boutiques, while its newer half is centred around a strip packed with bars. Further east, Lagos is best known for its beaches – the spot that steals most of the attention is Meia Praia, which stretches for more than four kilometres from the town’s marina. 

Average April temperature: 18°C
Average April rainfall: 38mm

Thailand’s hottest season runs from January until April, so you can expect plenty of sunshine-filled days. It’s also the best time for exploring World Heritage Sites, like the stunning Similan Islands, which are open from mid-October to mid-May. Temperatures in April peak at a super-toasty 33°C, but luckily, there’s the Songkran festival to keep you cool. This event runs every April and involves a huge water fight where locals and tourists soak each other with balloons and water pistols. Fancy it? Stay in Phuket or Khao Lak to be right in the heart of the action.

The Sunshine State never gets particularly cold, so it’s a great pick for a toasty getaway at any time of the year. The temperatures are nice and hot in April and the rainy season hasn’t kicked in, so you won’t have to plan your day around any showers. Nobody wants to ride the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster while it’s raining, right? If you prefer beaches over big thrills, Miami also enjoys highs of 26°C – the perfect temperature for spending time on Miami Beach and exploring the murals of Wynwood’s Art District. The Space Coast sees similar temperatures, too, where you can mix lazy beach days with trips to the Kennedy Space Center and boat rides where you can spot manatees.
