Ten-year averages for this calendar month. A rainy day is one with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts it. The model these figures come from drizzles more than a rain gauge, the more so the warmer the month, so its days count from 2 mm, rising to 5 mm in the hottest.

Weather read at Ajaccio, 5 km from the airport (AJA): ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

How busy it gets

April: about usual. Busiest from June to August; quietest in February, November and December.

Public holidays in April

Holidays crowd a place out and push fares up around them; they count toward the crowd score above.

What to pack

  • Warm layers for the evenings, which drop to about 9°C.

  • Humidity averages 77%; breathable fabrics dry faster.

Each line is a threshold over the ten-year figures above, not advice from anywhere else.
