Is February a good time to visit Hurghada?
It is a reasonable choice: warm days. The best months for Hurghada on our scoring are April, May, October; months averaging 25°C or more: Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov.
Comfortable days, but pack for cooler evenings
Plan for light daytime clothing with a layer you can add when the temperature drops. February suits travellers who prefer warmth to strong heat: only 9% of days reach 25°C, so it is not the month to choose if hot afternoons are essential. The warmer days can still make lounging in the sun appealing, but keep sun protection handy rather than judging the sun by the air temperature. After sunset, a jumper, light jacket and long trousers are sensible. The coldest nights can fall to 11.4°C or below, so packing only summer clothes would leave you short.
Swimming is reasonable, and rain is unlikely to disrupt plans
At an average of 22.2°C, the sea is suitable for swimming, although your comfort will depend on how warm you like the water. If you feel the cold easily, plan for shorter swims and have a dry layer ready afterwards. Sunshine averages about 9 hours a day out of 11.1 hours of daylight, giving you plenty of scope to spend time outside. Rainy days are about 0, so wet weather is unlikely to shape the holiday. That makes February a practical choice for relaxed outdoor days, provided you are happy with warm rather than hot conditions. Favour the warmer part of the day for swimming and drying off.
