Plan around rain, not a fixed outdoor schedule

Rain is the main catch in February. With about 25 rainy days, it makes sense to keep outdoor plans flexible and choose accommodation where you would be comfortable spending time indoors. Sunshine averages just 1.8 hours a day despite 12.3 hours of daylight, so do not confuse long days with clear skies. Pack a light waterproof and a waterproof bag for your phone and other essentials. Leave room to rearrange anything that depends on dry weather rather than filling each day in advance. If your holiday depends on long spells of sun beside the sea, February is not a strong fit.

Warm enough to swim, warm enough to feel sticky

The warmth is dependable, but humidity of 86% makes this a different proposition from a dry-heat holiday. Average highs of around 28°C call for light, loose clothing and a relaxed approach to exertion, especially around midday. Nights average around 25°C, so do not expect evenings to bring much cooling; comfortable sleeping arrangements matter more than packing warm layers. Sea temperatures around 29°C make swimming appealing on temperature alone, although warm water does not guarantee safe conditions, so follow local advice before entering. This month suits travellers who enjoy tropical warmth and can work around rain more than those who want cool evenings or reliable sunbathing weather.
