What’s the weather like in Nice in April?

Nice weather in April is mild and sunny for the most part, with temperatures continuing to increase towards the end of the month.

Geographical influences

It’s springtime in France, so you can look forward to warmer weather than previous months as the Mediterranean climate begins to warm up. The city is protected from strong winds by the hills in the north, which channel the winds and often carry them in the opposite direction. However, there are winds blowing in from the east, which can be quite chilly at times. The sea water is still too cold for swimming, so it’s off limits for now unless you like to swim in freezing waters.
