February weather forecast
Estonia

February continues the winter season in Estonia, although it is usually slightly less cold than the extreme conditions often experienced in January. The average temperatures in February range from -1.4°C (29.5°F) on the Baltic islands to -5.3°C (22.5°F) inland. Compared to January, these temperatures show a marginal rise, signaling the transition towards the end of the winter season and the beginning of the slow thaw into spring.

Tallinn, Estonia's capital on the Baltic Sea, sees February temperatures that range from -1.5°C (29.3°F) to -6°C (21.2°F). The slight moderation in temperature from January is often due to a reduced ice cover on the Baltic Sea, allowing its moderating influence on the local climate to be more pronounced.

Inland, in cities like Tartu, temperatures continue to remain lower than in the coastal regions. Average February temperatures in Tartu can range from -2.2°C (28°F) to -7°C (19.4°F). However, towards the end of the month, signs of the approaching spring season can often be seen, with occasional warmer days and the start of the snowmelt.

Snow continues to cover much of the country in February, although the amount of snowfall generally begins to decrease compared to January. The average snow depth can still be substantial, ranging from 20cm to 30cm, particularly in the southern hilly regions of Estonia where snowfall is typically greater.

February typically sees an average precipitation of 30mm (1.18"), most of which still falls as snow due to the prevailing low temperatures. However, as the month progresses and temperatures begin to rise, there can be a gradual transition towards rainfall, particularly in the coastal areas.

The length of daylight continues to increase throughout February, with Estonia gaining approximately 2.5 hours of daylight over the course of the month compared to January. By the end of February, daylight hours can extend to approximately 10 hours per day. Despite still being within the winter season, the increasing daylight and the slightly milder temperatures provide early indications of the approaching spring season.
