Ibadan Weather in April

April feels damp

April in Ibadan is hot, sticky and often cloudy. The high reaches 30°C, and humidity sits at 88%. Rain falls on 24 days, so you may get showers during a day out. May is wetter, while March is drier.

The frequent rain and limited sunshine make long outdoor plans less reliable. You can still visit the University of Ibadan Zoological Garden or explore the city, but leave room to duck into a café when showers arrive. Bower's Tower has open views, though its steps and lookout can be slippery after rain. Save long walks for breaks in the weather.

Events and crowds

Easter sometimes falls in April. When it does, church services and family gatherings shape the holiday, and travel can pick up around the long weekend. The date changes each year, so April won't always bring Easter crowds.

If you hate crowds, avoid travelling on the Easter weekend when it falls in April. Outside that period, Ibadan is generally quieter than during the December and January high season. Prices are often less pressured than then, though holiday travel can push up demand on popular routes.

Make the most of a wet day

April isn't Ibadan's best month for a weather-led visit. December and January are better choices if you want drier days. Still, April can work for a flexible city break, especially if you don't mind changing plans when rain arrives.

Practical tip: use a taxi for the climb to Bower's Tower rather than setting off on foot in a downpour. The steep approach can get slick, and you'll want to enjoy the view without rushing back through the rain.
