We were there at the end of October. It was cold, and sunny. Approximately 10 to 16 degrees. The mornings, evenings and nights very cold (temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius. It also gets dark early in the evening. Perfect temperatures for doing anything.
NielsDuring the day it was lovely with temperatures up to 28 degrees, but at night temperatures dropped to 7 degrees. Don't forget to bring a jacket for the evening! Occasional showers, but mostly clear weather.
LisaThe April experience in Yosemite was mixed. Typical spring showers and occasional snow, but the fresh air and blooming flora made it worthwhile. Dress warmly and be prepared for unpredictable weather.
MathijsIt was not too warm, but the nights were quite cold. There was sporadic rain and snow. Ideal for anyone who enjoys outdoor adventures.
