What's the weather like in Ocho Rios in April

April is considered to be a part of the summer season, but still receives many of the weather benefits as observed in the winter months (between December and February).

Temperature

Average temperatures are only slightly higher and the average rainfall is only marginally increased from previous months. You will find that the prices of hotels and resorts have reduced at this time of the year as the busy tourist season comes to an end, but rainfall does not pick up significantly until May with 37mm this month.

Throughout the month the daily average temperature is a fairly consistent. A vast majority of the month sees an average temperature of 27°C. During the latter half of the month, the temperature fluctuates between 27°C and 29°C. these temperature variations are as expected leading up to the warmer, summer months of the year. With the warmer temperatures expected towards the end of the month, there is also the increase in the possibility of rain as the wet/hurricane season approaches.

Sunshine Hours

As the summer months draw nearer, the days get longer. April sees an average 9 sunshine hours per day. The longer days give you more time to do exploring around the resort, with the low chance of rain meaning it is very unlikely you will get rained on whilst you are outside. There is a 58% chance of a sunny day throughout the month, so don't forget to take your sunblock and maybe a hat with you.

Sea Temperature

The average sea temperature at this time of year is 27°C, combined with a low 3% chance of a cloudy day, presents you a great opportunity to spend your day either in the water or at the beach. Water sports are extremely popular in Ocho Rios, and a 19% chance of a windy day is enough to give you a couple of days of good breeze for sailing during your time there, or if it is a calmer day, you can spend the day on a kayak or paddleboard.
