February 2027 guide

For February sun, the medium-haul pick is Luxor, Egypt (25°C), or fly long-haul to Montevideo, Uruguay for near-perfect 28°C days. February is a month for escapes - romantic breaks, half-term trips and colour-chasing getaways. The Canaries sit in the low-20s°C, while Dubai, the Maldives and Barbados shine at 28-30°C. Morocco and Madeira offer softer warmth with quick flights. Beyond the obvious, Zanzibar's spice-scented beaches and Jordan's wide desert skies feel otherworldly. It's a month to mix classic sunshine with journeys that surprise and stay with you.

Hot Countries in February: Winter Sun Before Spring

The hot countries in February suit escapes of every kind, from Valentine breaks and half term holidays to long haul beach trips. While ski weeks peak now, sun seekers still have plenty of options. The Maldives and Sri Lanka's west and south coasts hover near 27-29°C with warm seas. Thailand's Andaman coast is dry and sunny around 28-31°C, and southern Vietnam often sits at 27-30°C. The Caribbean and Mexico's Caribbean side typically run 27-29°C deep into their dry season, while Cape Town enjoys full summer at about 26-28°C. Closer to home, the Canary Islands usually bring 19-21°C of winter sun, Madeira 17-19°C, and Morocco's cities can see 18-22°C by day with cooler nights. For value, travel early in the month or the week after half term. Travelling late February into early March? March lifts most of these picks a degree or two - flip the month picker to compare.

Ski weeks are busy. For beach weather, go just before or just after half-term.

Your February sun questions, answered

The Maldives, Sri Lanka’s west and south coasts, Thailand’s Andaman side and much of the Caribbean often reach 27–31°C. Cape Town sits around 26–28°C in full summer. Dubai and Oman are usually near 24–27°C with blue skies.

The Canary Islands are the dependable pick at roughly 19–21°C. Madeira often sits around 17–19°C with bright days. Morocco (Agadir, Marrakech) can see 18–22°C by day, though nights are cooler. Southern Cyprus is usually 16–18°C.

Most UK schools break in mid-February, with exact dates varying by local authority. Demand and prices rise for both ski and sun trips. For value, look at early February or the week after half-term, and book flights early.

Yes. Half-term weeks drive peak demand to the Alps and Andorra. High, snow-sure resorts are popular. If you prefer beaches, avoid the same peak and you will often find better value and availability.

Very reliable options include Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Oman. Egypt’s Red Sea resorts are usually dry. Thailand’s Andaman coast and south Vietnam are typically dry now. The Caribbean is in its drier season, though showers vary by island. East Africa’s coasts such as Zanzibar are generally sunny with trade winds.

Indian Ocean spots such as the Maldives commonly reach 28–29°C. The Caribbean is often around 26–27°C. The Red Sea is typically 22–24°C. The Canaries are usually 18–19°C.

Bali and much of Indonesia are in their wet season. Thailand’s Andaman coast is dry; the Gulf side can still see showers early in the month. The southwest Indian Ocean cyclone season runs roughly November to April, so Mauritius and the Seychelles can see unsettled spells, though direct impacts are uncommon.

Egypt’s Red Sea resorts are February’s best-value heat – around 22–24°C, dry and usually far cheaper than the Caribbean. The Canary Islands price well outside half-term week, and Morocco offers warm days at city-break prices. Travel early in the month or the week after half term for the keenest fares.

Cape Verde sits near 25°C with about six hours’ flying. Beyond that it’s long haul: the Caribbean and Thailand at 27–31°C, and Dubai around 25–27°C. Set the temperature slider at the top of the page to 25–40°C to see everywhere over 25°C in February.
