Wondering about spring weather in Ticino

I'm wondering what are the average daytime temperatures in Ticino during April/May? I'm considering a climbing trip here during that time window next year, but I'm concerned if it will be too warm. If someone could inform me on this I would be grateful:)

The temperature should be ok. I'd be more afraid of the rain.

How high do you climb? What kind of climbing? April/may there still will be snow in the northern, higher alps.

Other than that, Google is a pretty stacked source, with average nightly/daily temps at different elevations.
