Daytime temperatures average 12°C, nights fall to around 8°C and the sea is cold at 14°C. It is milder than London, but not a reliable dose of winter warmth.

Daytime and night-time in February
The typical February day in Amalfi Coast peaks at 11.9°C, but that is an average: the warmest 10% of days reach 14.7°C or more. Days over 25°C are rare. Nights average 7.5°C; one night in ten drops to 4.0°C or lower, so pack a layer for evenings - it is genuinely cool after dark. Between 1991 and 2020 the hottest February day here reached 19.4°C (2016-02-16) and the coldest night -6.0°C (2018-02-28).
Rain in February
Wet (more than 8 rainy days): about 11 days with 1 mm or more, 105 mm in total. Year to year it varies a lot - the wettest February was 2018 with 223 mm, the driest 1992 with 16 mm. Humidity averages 73%.

Is February a good time to visit Amalfi Coast?
February is not the strongest month here: cool days and frequent rain. The best months for Amalfi Coast on our scoring are July, August, June; months averaging 25°C or more: Jul, Aug.
Milder than home, but still coat weather
The Amalfi Coast is around 4°C warmer than London by day in February, which is a useful lift rather than a change of season. A warmer afternoon can reach around 15°C, but that is not the everyday expectation. Pack layers you can adjust, a coat for evenings and shoes you are comfortable walking in when conditions are damp. The coldest nights can fall to 4°C or below, so do not build your packing around the daytime average alone. This weather suits travellers who enjoy being out in cool air and do not need to sit outdoors comfortably after dark.
Keep your daily plans flexible
Rain is the main catch: February has about 11 rainy days, so an itinerary that depends on dry weather throughout would be a gamble. Carry a waterproof jacket and leave room to move outdoor plans to a better weather window. There is still useful daylight, with about 4.9 hours of sunshine a day on average out of 10.4 hours of daylight, but that does not promise a sunny spell every day. Make the most of brighter periods rather than saving all your outdoor time for late afternoon. If a wet day would spoil the trip for you, February is a poor fit.
