Milder than London, but still jacket weather

Menorca's average daytime high is 5.2°C above London's February figure of 7.9°C, so there is a useful improvement in temperature without a shift into summer weather. February ranks as the island's coolest month. The warmer days reach 15.5°C or more, which may feel pleasant for walking, but do not pack on the assumption that every afternoon will be that mild. The coldest nights fall to 7.5°C or below, making a warm layer sensible for evenings. Bring trousers, comfortable closed shoes and a jacket you can wear over lighter layers. This is better weather for keeping moving than sitting outside in light clothing for long periods.

Make use of the daylight and leave room for rain

There are about 5.4 hours of sunshine within 10.5 hours of daylight, giving you scope for time outdoors without promising uninterrupted sun. Expect about 7 rainy days during the month, so a waterproof jacket is a practical addition rather than something to leave behind. Keep outdoor plans flexible and use brighter spells for longer walks. The sunshine figure is not a guarantee of warmth: even a bright February day remains cool by beach-holiday standards. Plan your main outdoor time during the day, with warmer clothing ready as evening approaches. If your holiday depends on daily sunbathing, the balance of cool temperatures and some rain is a clear drawback.
