Magaluf in February suits a break from colder UK weather, not a holiday built around sunbathing or swimming. Average daytime highs are about 14°C, roughly 6°C warmer than London, but the sea is only about 14°C. Go if you are happy spending time outdoors in layers and adjusting plans around rain.

How February compares

Daytime and night-time in February
The typical February day in Magaluf peaks at 13.9°C, but that is an average: the warmest 10% of days reach 16.2°C or more. Days over 25°C are rare. Nights average 10.3°C; one night in ten drops to 7.4°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 19.9°C (2020-02-04) and the coldest night 3.4°C (2012-02-04).
Rain in February
Some rain (4-8 rainy days): about 6 days with 1 mm or more, 32 mm in total. Year to year it varies a lot - the wettest February was 2018 with 104 mm, the driest 2020 with 0 mm. Humidity averages 75%.

Milder than London, but still winter
February is Magaluf's coolest month, so treat it as a winter break rather than an early start to summer. London's average daytime high is 7.9°C, compared with 13.9°C here: a useful improvement, but not enough to leave your jacket at home. Nights average 10.3°C, and the coldest can fall to 7.4°C or below, making a warm layer sensible for evenings. Warmer days can reach 16.2°C or more, so clothing you can add or remove is more useful than packing only heavy winter wear. It suits travellers who prefer exploring outdoors without heat, provided they are comfortable with cool conditions.
Useful sunshine, with rain to plan around
There is enough sunshine to make outdoor plans worthwhile, with about 5.7 hours a day within 10.5 hours of daylight. That does not mean uninterrupted blue skies, so keep your schedule flexible rather than relying on every afternoon being sunny. About 6 days have measurable rain, making a waterproof jacket a sensible addition without treating the whole month as a washout. Plan longer spells outside during the warmer part of the day, and carry a layer for when the sun goes in. February works better for travellers content to adapt to the weather than for anyone needing reliably warm, dry days.
