Weather in Volos in April

Prime time. April is about as good as Volos gets. Highs average 17.1 °C, lows 12.5 °C, and rain falls on 6 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

April ranks 7 of 12 in Volos: past the worst of the year but short of May, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain falls on only 6 days, so an itinerary with no wet-weather fallback is a reasonable risk. Pack for 17.1 °C days and 12.5 °C nights; the spread matters more here than any single number.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: the day barely swings — 4.6 °C between the overnight low and the afternoon high. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest April day reached 27.9 °C and the coldest night fell to 3.9 °C.

April is moderately variable: 3 mm in the driest year against 84 mm in the wettest, around an average of 33 mm. Roughly two Aprils in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 10.3 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 72%.

How April sits in the year

The month is on the way up: 2.7 °C warmer than March, and May adds another 4.7 °C. Late in the month feels noticeably different from the start of it, which is worth knowing if the trip is short.

Daylight in April

13.2 hours of daylight, gaining 1.2 hours across the month. That is between Volos's extremes of 14.9 and 9.4 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

An inland climate

Despite being inland, the year stays fairly even: 20.9 °C between the year's warmest afternoons and coldest nights.

How busy it gets

Busy. Popular without being frantic; book the things you care about, improvise the rest.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

April in Volos versus nearby

If Volos is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Lárisa is a better bet in April — 4 °C warmer, the same number of rain days. Thessaloníki is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 1 day more rain.

So: April works, with May the better month by 9 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
