Rainfall is infrequent, typically occurring on only 3 or 4 days throughout the month, and the sea temperature settles around 19°C (66°F), which is refreshing for a swim. Overall, April is considered one of the best times to visit for hiking Mount Teide or enjoying the floral blooms across the island's diverse volcanic landscapes.
