Your February weather guide
CoolWeather in Antalya in February
Antalya in February suits a mild-weather city break, not a winter sun holiday built around swimming. Daytime highs average around 14°C, nights drop to around 6°C, and about 11 days bring rain. For a UK traveller, the appeal is time outdoors without summer heat; the catch is needing waterproofs and warm evening layers. Go if you can keep plans flexible, rather than expecting reliably warm, dry days.

Within Turkey it is 10th of 18 (Turkey in February). Against London's average high of 7.9°C in February, Antalya is 5.7°C warmer by day and 3.6°C warmer at night.
Daytime and night-time in February
The typical February day in Antalya peaks at 13.6°C, but that is an average: the warmest 10% of days reach 17.4°C or more. Days over 25°C are rare. Nights average 5.6°C; one night in ten drops to 1.8°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 24.3°C (2016-02-16) and the coldest night -1.6°C (1991-02-04).
Rain in February
Wet (more than 8 rainy days): about 11 days with 1 mm or more, 134 mm in total. Year to year it varies a lot - the wettest February was 2010 with 296 mm, the driest 2017 with 12 mm. Humidity averages 70%.
Sea temperature in February
The sea averages 16.8°C - too cold for most (under 18°c). Depending on the year it ranges from 15.9°C to 17.3°C. For the warmest sea here, come in August (29.0°C).

Is February a good time to visit Antalya?
February is not the strongest month here: cool days and frequent rain. The best months for Antalya on our scoring are June, September, May; months averaging 25°C or more: Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep.
Comfortable for walking, cool when you stop
February's temperatures are better suited to walking than sitting outside in light clothes. A jumper and a windproof outer layer give you flexibility as conditions change, while a warmer coat makes sense after dark. The warmer days can reach around 17°C or more, but that is not the everyday expectation. At the colder end, nights can fall to around 2°C or below, so do not pack as though every evening will be mild. Midday is the sensible time for longer outdoor plans if you want the most warmth. This month suits travellers who prefer cool conditions and do not need beach weather to enjoy a break.
Plan around rain, not around swimming
Rain is a meaningful part of the February trade-off, so leave room to move outdoor plans rather than fixing everything in advance. A waterproof jacket and shoes that cope with wet pavements are more useful than an umbrella alone. There are about 5.3 hours of sunshine within 10.6 hours of daylight, leaving scope for bright spells without promising an entirely sunny day. The sea averages 16.8°C and is cold, so a comfortable, lingering swim should not be central to your plans. Even if the air feels pleasant in sunshine, that does not make the water warm. Choose February for a flexible city stay with time outdoors when conditions allow, rather than a holiday organised around the sea.
