The month of April in Gibraltar is the prelude to the beautiful and enjoyable weather of the summer season in the south of Spain. Visitors during this month will experience increasingly warmer temperatures both on land and in the water.
The average daily high temperature in Gibraltar in the month of April is a balmy 20°C (68°F).
Low temperatures at night fall to around 13°C (55°F) which is still a little cool but not so much as to be not enjoyable. It's the perfect weather to stroll down Main Street at night and take in a meal or evening drinks with friends.
Precipitation in April is slight with there being on average only 6 rainy days throughout the month and a total of 55 mm or a little more that 2 inches of rain recorded.
Comfortable and light attire is recommended for daytime activities, while mildly warmer clothing may be desired in the evenings.
The one event that visitors to Gibraltar in April should not miss is the Gibraltar International Boat Show. The event takes place in the second week of April and includes activities for the whole family. There is plenty to see and do including viewing yachts, canoeing, diving, and listening to live music. There is even a car show, arts and crafts fair, several sporting events, and many other exciting activities.
Another relaxing yet exhilarating event visitors can participate in is whale and dolphin watching. The waters around Gibraltar are home to lots of different marine life but in particular, playful dolphins. Visitors can take guided tours of area waters and have the chance to see pods of dolphins playing and cavorting in their natural environment.
There is also a very good chance to see whales which inhabit the area, as well.
