April in Cincinnati is defined by one variable above all others: rain. With 15 precipitation days, April ties for the third-wettest month of the year, and that single fact shapes every round you plan. On a dry day, at a 64°F average high, April sits just inside the comfortable 60–80°F window, though it hugs the lower boundary. The 20°F daily swing from a 44°F morning low to that 64°F afternoon peak means your 7 AM tee time will feel like a different season than your back nine.
The upside is that April's 12.2 mph peak wind, while still the second-windiest month of the year, barely budges from March's 12.3 mph — so wind management isn't dramatically worse than what you dealt with last month. Plan for afternoon windows when both temperature and conditions tend to settle, and keep a close eye on the daily forecast rather than booking a week in advance.
Book afternoon slots — ideally after 1 PM — when the daily high of 64°F is most reachable and the coolest part of the day has passed; with 15 precipitation days in the month, checking the hourly forecast the evening before is more reliable than locking in a fixed weekly tee time. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
April matches March exactly on precipitation days at 15, so the rain burden doesn't ease up, but the average high jumps 9°F over March's 55°F, making the wet days at least more comfortable to ride out. May brings a further 10°F warming to a 74°F average high, but actually adds three more precipitation days (18) and is noticeably calmer at 10.5 mph versus April's 12.2 mph peak wind. If you can tolerate the April showers, you get warmer and less windy conditions than March with fewer total rain days than May.

Based on climate normals, April averages 15 precipitation days out of 30, meaning roughly half the month carries measurable rain. That doesn't mean all-day washouts — but you should plan for at least one weather-related disruption per outing window rather than assuming dry conditions, and checking the hourly forecast before each round is more useful than relying on a weekly outlook.
The average high of 64°F sits just inside the comfortable range, but the morning low of 44°F means early tee times will feel genuinely cold. Scheduling after 10 or 11 AM lets temperatures climb enough for normal ball flight and comfortable walking, and the 20°F daily swing means conditions improve significantly as the round progresses.
