Weather in February

Guinea-Bissau, yet it carries the initial hints of the approaching heat. The average temperature begins to rise, varying from 20°C (68°F) in the early morning to 35°C (95°F) in the afternoon. Despite this uptick in temperature, the humidity remains relatively low, and rainfall is scarce, with precipitation levels generally less than 10mm (0.39") for the month.
The capital city, Bissau, owing to its coastal position, sees slightly cooler conditions with temperatures ranging from 21°C (69.8°F) to 33°C (91.4°F). The coastal areas, while slightly warmer than the inland regions during the cooler months, tend to maintain more moderate temperatures as the dry season gives way to the hotter months.
February in Guinea-Bissau stands as a transition period between the cooler months of
December and
January, and the hotter months to follow. While February's temperatures are slightly higher than in January, they are not as hot as those in the approaching month of
March, when the heat begins to intensify significantly.
Despite the increase in temperature, February remains a comfortable time for visitors to explore the country's diverse natural landscapes, from the mangrove-lined coastal areas to the wildlife-rich savannas. The absence of rain and the plentiful sunshine provide ideal conditions for outdoor activities, wildlife spotting, and visits to historical and cultural sites.
