April in Cancun typically marks the transition from the dry to the wet season. Visitors can expect warm temperatures, averaging in the low 80s Fahrenheit (high 20s Celsius), with sunshine dominating most days. However, the chance of rain increases as the month progresses, with short-lived afternoon showers becoming more common. Sea temperatures are typically very pleasant for swimming.
Understanding typical climate conditions for this specific period allows travelers to pack appropriately, plan activities, and manage expectations. Pleasant weather combined with fewer crowds compared to peak winter months makes April an attractive time for many to visit Cancun. Historically, April has fallen within the shoulder season, offering a balance between desirable weather and potentially lower prices on accommodations and flights compared to the peak season.
