Comfortable for walking, cool for sitting still
The daytime temperature is well suited to walking without getting too hot, but it is not reliable T-shirt weather throughout the day. Take layers you can remove when the sun feels warm and put back on when you stop. The warmest days can reach 18.9°C or more, though that should be treated as a bonus rather than the basis of your packing. Evenings need warmer clothes: the average night low is 8.7°C, and the coldest nights can fall to 5.6°C or below. A jumper, jacket and long trousers are more useful than a suitcase built around beachwear.
Useful sunshine, with room for rain
February offers about 5.8 hours of sunshine a day on average, enough to make outdoor time a reasonable part of the plan, but not a promise of clear skies. There are about 7 rainy days during the month, so bring a waterproof layer and shoes you are comfortable wearing in wet weather. Keep outdoor plans movable rather than relying on a particular day staying dry. The middle of the day is the sensible time for sitting outside, when temperatures are nearer their daytime high. Overall, this is a month for making use of brighter spells, not expecting uninterrupted sunshine.
