Estonia in April

Cool and changeable; bogs flood in Soomaa (the 'fifth season') — canoe tours.

• North coast and Tallinn · Tallinn, Lahemaa, Narvafine

  Mild for its latitude thanks to the sea; winter around −3 °C with slush and wind; summer 18–23 °C with up to 19 hours of light.

• South and inland · Tartu, Otepää, Võru, Viljandifine

  More continental: colder, snowier winters (cross-country skiing around Otepää) and a few degrees warmer in summer.

• Western islands and coast · Saaremaa, Hiiumaa, Pärnu, Haapsalufine

  Sunniest part of the country in summer; the sea stays cold until late June; many guesthouses close October–April.
