Essential Guide things to notice
In April the average high temperature increases to 8°C. The average low stays below freezing at -2°C in April. Rainfall is low but light showers can be expected on around twelve days in each month.
Remember though that for most of April it still falls below freezing at night so any meltwater re-freezes – sometimes creating treacherous conditions on the roads.
For April you have to wear winter clothes, but know this part of the year is not as cold as it was in recent months.
