Germany is a great destination for its vibrant cities, picturesque countryside and fascinating culture. April is a great time to visit as the weather is usually mild and the countryside is in bloom.

What's the temperature like in Germany during April?
The temperature reaches around 15℃ during the daytime in April, falling away to 3℃ at night. The UV index will be moderate at this time of year, so not something to worry about for the average person. However, if you're going to be outside for long periods it's worth wearing a broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen and UV-blocking sunglasses. Remember that bright surfaces, such as water and sand increase UV exposure.
Does it snow in Germany during April?
Possibly. There's a chance of snow during April but not as much as you might think. Check the local forecast before you leave home so that you can pack appropriate footwear and clothing.
Does it rain in Germany during April?
April is typically the driest month in Germany. On average, there will be 4 rainy days during the month, amounting to 40.7mm in total. That's broadly comparable with the amount of rain we see in England during the summer months, and would be considered dry. There's a small chance that you'll catch a thunderstorm during your trip.
Is it windy in Germany during April?
You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a light breeze that picks up slightly at times in April. With moderate air temperatures, any breeze will feel cool.
