How February compares

February is the 11th warmest month of the year in Lara Beach. Within Turkey it is 11th of 18 (Turkey in February). Against London's average high of 7.9°C in February, Lara Beach 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 Lara Beach 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).

Sunshine and daylight

Around 5.3 hours of sunshine a day (estimated from cloud cover), 10.6 hours of daylight: the sun rises about 07:47 and sets about 18:36 local time in mid-February. Average cloud cover is 50%.

Is February a good time to visit Lara Beach?

February is not the strongest month here: cool days and frequent rain. The best months for Lara Beach on our scoring are June, September, May; months averaging 25°C or more: Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep.

Milder days, but keep your coat

The daytime temperature is a noticeable step up from London's February high of 7.9°C, with Lara Beach averaging 5.7°C warmer. That makes outdoor time more appealing, but it does not turn February into summer. The warmest 10% of days reach 17.4°C or more, so a mild afternoon is possible rather than something to build the trip around. Pack layers you can adjust, with a coat for evenings. Average night lows of 5.6°C hide some much colder spells: the coldest 10% of nights reach 1.8°C or below. If you plan to sit outside after dark, dress for winter rather than relying on daytime warmth.

Leave room for rain in your plans

February is wet enough that a rigid outdoor itinerary is a poor fit. About 11 days bring measurable rain, so pack a waterproof jacket and shoes you are comfortable wearing in wet conditions. There is still useful daylight: roughly 10.6 hours, including about 5.3 hours of sunshine on average. The catch is that this is not a promise of clear skies each day. Keep your plans flexible, use brighter spells for coastal walks, and have something indoors in mind when rain arrives. This month suits travellers who do not mind changing plans more than those who want dependable weather for lounging outside.

The sea is cold, not just refreshing

At 16.8°C, the sea is cold for a holiday swim. Its February range of 16°C to 17°C leaves little reason to expect comfortable bathing even in a warmer year. Treat time by the water as a chance to walk or sit out when conditions feel pleasant, rather than the main swimming part of your holiday. A mild afternoon does not mean the water will feel warm, and you will want dry, warm clothes after any dip. If swimming is central to your plans, February is a poor match; if being beside the sea matters more than getting into it, the trade-off is easier.
