Weather in February
The weather in
February offers very little relief from
January's cold with the temperatures only marginally improving to -1°C (30.2°F) to 3°C (37.4°F). The extension in daylight hours to eight hours and forty minutes brings some reprieve from the lengthy nights. As we go from the heart of winter to early spring, an increase in daily temperatures is foreseeable in
March. Despite the persistent chill, February ushers in the transition from the cold, dark winter to a brighter and warmer season.
