Abu Dhabi in April — Full Picture
April marks the shift toward summer — around 34°C/21°C (93°F/70°F), hot and dry, with the midday sun becoming intense. Rain is essentially gone (about 8mm).
Outdoor sightseeing now needs timing: do the Corniche, the Mosque exterior, and desert trips in the morning or late afternoon, and lean on the air-conditioned indoor attractions (Louvre, Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World, malls) through the hot midday.
The upside is shoulder-season value — crowds thin and hotel prices begin to ease from the winter peak. Beaches and pools are warm and inviting.
Note: the UV index is very high (around 10) and dehydration is a real risk — carry water, wear a hat and SPF 50+, and avoid prolonged midday sun. A modest cover-up is still needed for the Sheikh Zayed Mosque.

Hot spring — around 34°C/21°C (93°F/70°F). Light, loose, breathable clothing only; sun hat, sunglasses, SPF 50+, and plenty of water. A modest cover-up and scarf for the Mosque.
