April weather forecast
Australia

April in Australia is characterized by the deepening embrace of autumn. The heat of the summer months continues to retreat, making way for cooler temperatures and more predictable weather patterns across the vast continent.

Central Australia, which was a hotbed during the summer months, starts seeing a substantial dip in temperatures. While the daytime warmth can still be experienced, evenings become markedly cooler, hinting at the winter chill that's around the corner.

The Northern Territory, having left behind its wet season, welcomes more stable weather. Rainfall is sporadic, and temperatures are more temperate compared to the preceding months, often not reaching the highs of 36.1°C (97°F) observed earlier in the year.

Queensland, with its vast and varied geography, continues its march towards cooler conditions. While the western regions maintain their warmth, it is less intense than the summer months. The central parts, known for their hot and somewhat dry conditions, start to see temperatures that are more in line with the national average.

In Western Australia, rainfall starts becoming scarcer in the interiors. Precipitation levels reduce significantly, with regions recording amounts between 305mm (12.01") and 1,397mm (15.63"). New South Wales, with its expansive geography, experiences temperatures that are generally more moderate than in March. The arid areas, which saw highs of 32.8°C (91°F) in the hotter months, now enjoy a more comfortable range. Eastern regions, meanwhile, continue to see a reduction in rainfall, further establishing the onset of the drier months.

South Australia, influenced by its proximity to the sea in some regions, sees temperatures that are ideal for outdoor activities. Rainfall remains variable but leans towards the drier side, especially in regions away from the coast.
