Weather Details
April is a lovely month in Turks and Caicos. The days are warm and the nights are cool with breezes that make it bearable to walk the beach in the evening. Remember that early April could still be a bit chilly compared to later in April when the sun will have started warming the island. This month enjoys mainly sunshine (an average of eight hours a day) suitable for sunbathing or visiting the islands.
Only some brief bursts of rainfall will be forecast during this month, and more frequently it simply won’t rain at all. With it comes around 75% humidity, which is a fairly low value compared to the blaring heat, especially with the sea sub-breezes. In other words, this climate is enjoyable without the brutal heat, and thus, one can mix them.
When it comes to swimming, the sea temperature is a pleasant 26°C (79°F). From sunbathing to swimming in the turquoise water, April is a great time to enjoy these activities.
What to Pack
- The clothes are very light: It also is the materials that are breathable and there should be layers (in the evening).
- Swimwear — A must-have if you plan on hitting the beach or doing any water-related activities.
- 1 Not all sunscreens are created equal, so ensure your skin remains safe under the tropical rays.
- For quick showers: Lite rain jacket or travel umbrella
- Comfortable sandals or water shoes: Good for the beach and good for some exploring
And, while sitting at the beach, don’t forget a book — or a journal, to record your thoughts!
