April Weather in Buenos Aires
April marks the commencement of autumn in Buenos Aires. The weather starts to cool but remains comfortably warm, making it a pleasant time to visit the city. The average daytime temperatures in April range from 15°C (59°F) to 23°C (73°F), while evenings can be a bit cooler, so you might want to consider bringing a light sweater.
As the month progresses, the leaves will begin to fall, signalling the change in seasons. This creates a picturesque environment, especially in the city's many parks and tree-lined streets. During April, many of the main coastal destinations become much quieter as the coastal weather becomes less pleasant compared to the summer months. However, the city itself remains vibrant and full of life.
If you're planning a trip away from Buenos Aires during April, it's important to consider when Easter falls. Easter usually sparks a last burst of visitors heading to the coast or other local destinations for day trips or longer getaways. As such, it's wise to book your accommodation ahead of time to ensure availability.
Here are some tips based on my experience to help you enjoy your stay in Buenos Aires during April:
What to Wear:
Light, breathable clothing is still suitable for the daytime, but pack a light sweater or jacket for the cooler evenings.
Easter Travel:
If your are planning to travel to away from Buenos Aires during the Easter period, it is maybe a good idea to book accommodation and travel early to avoid last-minute hassles or high prices. Many locals head out of the city for Easter which can cause an increase in demand for places to stay in certain destinations.
If you find yourself in Buenos Aires around Easter, many of the city's historic churches and prominent places of worship, such as the Catedral Metropolitana and Iglesia de San Pedro Telmo, hold special masses and events.
Alternatively, you might consider visiting Tierra Santa, one of the first religious theme parks in the world, which hosts large events and reenactments during the Easter holidays.
