Going on a vacation to Tunisia in April, tourists are wondering what the weather will be like this time of year? Connoisseurs call April the best time to travel to Tunisia. You can, without fear of getting sunburns, get acquainted with the sights and traditions of the country. Good April weather promotes outdoor activities and hiking.
Weather
Arriving in Tunisia in April, you can see the abundance of the sun, a cloudless sky and a gentle cool breeze. This weather is great for sunbathing, but you should not forget about safety measures.
With a cool wind, you can not appreciate how much the sun is hot. So, there is a risk of getting a sunburn. Therefore, each tourist should have in his arsenal of conventional sunscreens - protective cream and glasses.
Non-warm warm weather favors various trips to local attractions. A warm April day can be spent on a many-hour excursion without fear of getting a heat stroke. But still, going for a walk, it is recommended to bring a hat and a light windbreaker with you.
In April, cloudy days will not spoil the rest in Tunisia for those who are in the very south of the country. For example, the resort town of Djerba boasts no more than 3 cloudy days per month. In other years, as noted by meteorologists, in the south of the country the whole of April passes without precipitation at all.
But rains can cause some inconvenience to tourists. This is especially true of the northern regions of the country. But in the capital of Tunisia, Tabarka and Bizerte, this spring month, on average, there are up to 9 cloudy days with precipitation.
Air temperature
The second month of spring pleases vacationers with an increase in temperature. The temperature in Tunisia in April at such well-known resorts as Gabes, Djerba and Zarzis rises to 28 degrees Celsius. And in the evening the air cools to 15 degrees above zero. If you go to other resort cities, such as Monastir, Sousse and Mahdia, then there the air temperature rises to 23 degrees Celsius in the afternoon.
In the north of the country, the city of Tabarka is the coolest, the air temperature here rises to 23 degrees Celsius, and in the evenings it drops to 11 degrees above zero. Therefore, going to Tunisia in April, it is recommended to bring a warm sweater, sweatshirt and pants.
Sea temperature
Compared to atmospheric temperature, the water temperature in Tunisia in April does not allow swimming in the sea. In the middle of spring, usually the swimming season is not yet open and seasoned people with special training can enter such cool water.
In the resort towns of Sfax, Gabes, Djerba Zarzis, the sea is considered the warmest and it warms up to 19 degrees. But in Hammamet and Sousse, the water temperature does not rise above 16 degrees. By the end of the month, the sea usually becomes several degrees warmer.
But for vacationers, such a water temperature remains still not comfortable enough for swimming. But there are many tourists who prefer to simply lie in a deck chair on the beach and sunbathe. Of course, at this time of the year the sun is not so active, but you can achieve a dark tan.
