February weather forecast
Somalia

Following the relatively cooler and drier January, the weather in Somalia in February experiences a gradual increase in temperature, indicating the transition towards the warmer months of the year. Average temperatures across the country range from 22°C (71.6°F) to 33°C (91.4°F). The northern city of Hargeisa experiences temperatures between 17°C (62.6°F) and 27°C (80.6°F), while the southern city of Mogadishu sees slightly higher temperatures, usually between 27°C (80.6°F) to 33°C (91.4°F).

Comparatively, February is warmer than January, but still significantly cooler than the upcoming hot month of March, providing a balance between the two extremes. This makes it an agreeable month for those who wish to avoid the peak summer heat while also enjoying slightly warmer conditions than in January.

February continues the trend of low precipitation established in January, with negligible rainfall reported across the country. This marks the end of the Jilal season, the driest period of the year, and precedes the Gu season, which is characterized by the onset of the first major rains of the year starting in late March.

The coastal regions, particularly the northeastern Puntland and the southern Jubaland, may experience some maritime influence, leading to marginally cooler temperatures and sporadic light showers. However, these events are typically rare and not substantial enough to affect outdoor activities or travel plans.

While February does not hold the distinction of being the hottest, coldest, or the rainiest month in the Somali calendar, it is notable for its transitional nature - a period where the cool and dry conditions of the Jilal season gradually give way to the warmer months of the year.
