Gold Coast weather in April??
Posted: Wed March 11, 2009 04:50 PM UTC

Hi everyone!

I'm thinking about traveling to the gold coast for the last three weeks in April..I have a friend who lives there so I will have free accomodation etc.. and don't want to pass up this chance to go! However I'm really curious about the weather...I've researched averages are 16-25 celsius but I'd love to hear from someone who's actually lived or been there in April!! I have a limited budget still so would want to spend a lot of time suntanning etc..at the beach and worry it will be too cold or raining all the time...any advice would be so soo appreciated! Thanks:D

The weather will be fine. Weather everywhere is unpredictable lately, but it never gets cold in Queensland.Rain is possible-but you can still enjoy the Gold Coast.

lyn is right..all year is good. No one can guarantee what the wx is going to be but for years we took a camping holiday on the G.Coast during the May vacation which is potentially cooler than April.

The days will be warm but it will cool off after sunset and no-one can predict if it will rain.

Max temps are about 25-27. SEQ has no specific wet season, so if you're here for 3 weeks it should be fine 90% of the time. But don't quote me lol.

April weather is great. I usually advise my family to come and visit then. Not as hot as January and February, but still warm enough to enjoy the sun and outdoors.

I agree with Johan. April is a lovely time to visit :o) And if you get a bit of sun in the day, then a nice way to spend the evening is to take a dinner cruise. Just make sure you take a light jacket. Also, don't forget to go to Draculas for a good evening of fun :o)

It very much depends on where you're from and what climate you're used to. For me those temperatures would be too cold. But if you're from a cold climate they would be good. It's all relative.
