Average temperature across Algeria in April.
Algiers, Oran, Béjaïa
Late spring warmth becomes noticeable in April along the coast: Algiers and Oran often see 18-22°C afternoons and clearer skies. Beach towns begin to stir, though sea temperatures are still cool for swimming; this is ideal for coastal hikes around Cap Carbon and Bejaïa’s headlands, but keep a windbreaker for gusty evenings.
Tizi Ouzou, Béjaïa, Constantine
April brings clear, fragrant days in the foothills and daytime temperatures commonly reach 18-22°C; wildflowers and almond blossoms are visible around Tizi Ouzou and Béjaïa. Higher country remains cool by night, so layering is important; trails become friendly for longer treks and local festivals begin to pick up as the weather steadies.
Sétif, Batna, M’Sila
April’s spring warmth becomes obvious and wild steppe grasses begin to green, with days often reaching 18-20°C while nights stay cool. Sétif’s cafés fill as locals enjoy open-air life, and Plateau roads are fine for driving; however, late cold snaps are still possible so keep warm clothing available for early mornings.
Ghardaïa, Timimoun, El Oued, Touggourt
April becomes hot by desert standards with frequent days in the high 20s to low 30s and nights still pleasantly cool. Travelers should plan morning excursions for sand dunes and palm oases before the afternoon heats; occasional gusts of hot, dusty wind may begin to appear from the south.
Tamanrasset, Djanet, Tassili n’Ajjer
April’s days are warm and dry on the highlands with temperatures often in the low to mid-20s; high plateaus are pleasantly cool by night. Vegetation is sparse but the light is excellent for viewing prehistoric rock art; avoid late-afternoon exposure to strong sun and carry enough water for remote hikes.
There are no major festivals or events in Algeria during April to be aware of.
