How warm is it in Cancún during April?

The UV index will be high at this time of year, so protection against skin and eye damage is needed. Try to limit exposure between 10am and 4pm. Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every few hours, even if it's cloudy, or more frequently after sweating or swimming, and wear UV-blocking sunglasses too, and bear in mind that bright surfaces, such as sand and water increase UV exposure.

That's broadly comparable with the amount of rain we see in England during the summer months, and would be considered dry.

On average, April will see just 2 days that produce a storm.
Is it windy in Cancún during April?
You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a gentle breeze that increases to moderate at times during April. The high humidity and warm temperature will make the breeze feel warm, so any cooling effect will be limted.
