Where should you go on the island of Sumatra in april when it comes to the weather?
Remember:
The climate on the island of Sumatra in april ranges from tolerable to very bad depending on the region and city.
April is not the best month to visit Sumatra. The weather in Langsa, Tanjungpinang, Tebingtinggi, Gunung Leuser National Park, Bandar Lampung, Kisaran, Batam, Bukit Lawang, Sibolga, Padang City, Lhokseumawe, Medan, Bengkulu, Takengon, Banda Aceh and Sigli is quite correct. The sun is not there all the time and you risk you to be soaked by rain frequently. However, if you don't plan a deckchair & cocktails by the pool trip but rather cultural visits, this climate could be appropriate. In addition, there are certainly fewer tourists this month.
But it is finally better than in Palembang, Lac Maninjau, Simpang, lake Toba, Berastagi, Dumai, Metro, Jambi City, Bukittinggi, Payakumbuh, Samosir, Padangsidempuan, Pematangsiantar, Parapat, Pekanbaru, Gunungsitoli (Pulau Nias) and Pariaman and surrounding areas where the climate is very bad. We really do not recommend you to travel to these areas in april.
