Milder than London, but pack for cool evenings

The daytime high is about 6.3°C above London's February average, a useful improvement rather than a switch to summer. On the warmest days, temperatures reach 17.2°C or more, which can make an outdoor lunch appealing with a layer handy. The catch comes after dark: the coldest nights fall to 6°C or below, so a warm jacket earns its place in your bag. Pack trousers, comfortable closed shoes and layers you can adjust during the day. This is weather for walking without summer heat, not relying on a T-shirt from morning to evening. Even midday warmth should be treated as a bonus rather than the basis of your plans.

Enough sunshine to get outside, with room for rain

February brings about 5.6 hours of sunshine within 10.5 hours of daylight, so there is a reasonable window for outdoor plans without expecting uninterrupted sun. Rain falls on about 6 days during the month: that makes a waterproof jacket sensible, but does not mean you should expect every day to be wet. Keep your schedule adjustable so you can use brighter spells for longer walks and take a break when showers arrive. Plan outdoor time around the daylight rather than assuming long, light evenings. If dependable dry weather is essential to your holiday, February is a compromise rather than a safe bet.

The sea is too cold for a relaxed swimming holiday

At 14.1°C, the sea is firmly cold, not just a little fresh on entry. Its February range of 14°C to 15°C also leaves little reason to expect a notably warmer sea during your visit. For most travellers, time by the water will be better spent walking or sitting in suitable layers than planning leisurely swims. Sunshine does not change that basic limitation, and a pleasant afternoon on land should not be mistaken for comfortable water conditions. February therefore suits travellers happy to leave swimming out of the itinerary; it is a poor match if warm sea bathing is central to the trip.
