Warm weather calls for comfortable, breathable clothing in April. Cotton t-shirts, shorts, light dresses, and sandals are perfect. You might still want a light layer for evenings or air-conditioned places (for example buses). High rain levels are expected, so pack waterproof gear and an umbrella or poncho. Expect water temperatures of around 28°C (82°F), which is ideal for taking a refreshing dip. Bring swimwear and consider packing a towel for drying off. Don't forget sun protection, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat. These are all good ideas with this much sunshine.
