Milder afternoons, but keep your coat

The average daytime high of 12.3°C is comfortable for walking with suitable layers, but it is not dependable T-shirt weather. Warmer days can reach 15.1°C or more, so a sheltered outdoor break may feel pleasant; that should be a bonus rather than the basis of your plans. Nights average 8.6°C, while the coldest can fall to 5.2°C or below. Pack a warm layer for evenings and a windproof, waterproof outer layer rather than relying on a light jumper. February sits near the cool end of Corfu's year, so it suits travellers who prefer being active in mild conditions more than those seeking winter heat.

Leave room for rain and keep sea plans modest

Rain is a practical drawback: about 11 days have measurable rain, so outdoor plans need flexibility. Carry a waterproof jacket and choose footwear you can comfortably wear in wet conditions. There is still useful daylight for getting outside, with about 4.9 hours of sunshine within 10.5 hours of daylight, but do not expect clear skies throughout the day. Use brighter spells for longer walks and keep a less weather-dependent alternative ready. The sea averages 14.5°C, which is cold rather than merely refreshing. For most travellers, time by the water will mean walking or sitting with a layer on, not a relaxed swim. If beach weather is the main reason for going, February is a poor fit.
