What April is like in Sydney
April is one of Sydney's most pleasant months. The oppressive summer humidity drops away, temperatures settle into a comfortable mid-20s range, and the sky takes on the deep blue clarity that defines Sydney autumn. Rainfall remains relatively high due to east coast low activity, but dry runs of a week or more are common between systems. Water temperatures are still mild enough for swimming without a wetsuit. The golden afternoon light makes April a favourite for photographers and harbour sailors.
