Milder than London, but still coat weather

Mykonos averages 5.5°C warmer than London by day in February, a noticeable difference without turning it into a warm-weather holiday. The average night low is 10.5°C, so pack a jumper and jacket for evenings rather than relying on light holiday clothes. Even the warmest days generally offer mild conditions: the warmest 10% reach 16.4°C or more. At the other end, the coldest 10% of nights fall to 6.7°C or below, making an extra layer useful. This suits travellers happy to spend time outdoors in cool conditions. Midday is a better window for seeking warmth than something you need to avoid because of heat.

Keep outdoor plans flexible and swimming optional

About 5.3 hours of sunshine within 10.6 hours of daylight gives February some scope for outdoor time, but not dependable all-day sun. With about 9 rainy days, a waterproof jacket is more useful than packing only for clear skies. Keep plans flexible enough to move a walk to a brighter spell, rather than assuming every afternoon will be dry. The sea is the bigger limitation for a beach-focused trip: at 15.4°C, it is firmly cold, not merely refreshing. If comfortable swimming matters to you, February is a poor fit. It makes more sense for travellers who are content to enjoy time beside the water in layers and treat sunshine as a welcome opportunity rather than a guarantee.
