Cyprus Climate February

Soft sun in the last winter month

February is the transitional month when the Cypriot winter slowly gives way to spring. While much of Europe is still wrapped in thick coats, nature in Cyprus is already coming alive.

The climate in Cyprus in February is mild, with clear skies, blossoms, and a surprising amount of sunshine. Ideal for those seeking peace and quiet, hikers, and anyone who could use some vitamin D.

What is the weather like in Cyprus in February?

  • Average daily temperature: 16 – 19°C
  • At night: 7 – 10°C
  • Hours of sunshine per day: 6 to 7 hours
  • Precipitation days: average 7 – 10 days
  • Sea temperature: ±17°C

Although February is part of "winter," the weather is often milder than you might expect. The days are getting longer, the sun is shining more often, and the sky is usually clear.

Inland and in the mountains (such as Troodos) it remains a little cooler, and there may even be snow there.

Is it hot in Cyprus in February?

Yes, relatively speaking, definitely. If you compare Cyprus to Belgium or the Netherlands, February feels like a fresh spring here. During the day, you can sit on a terrace without a coat and take a stroll in the afternoon sun. The nights are still chilly, so a sweater or jacket is always useful.

Is it worth visiting Cyprus in February?

Absolutely. February is a hidden gem for travelers who want to avoid the crowds and enjoy active trips. Consider:

  • Cycling or walking in nature, without the summer heat
  • Exploring historic cities such as Paphos, Nicosia and Limassol
  • Local festivals and traditions such as Green Monday that mark the beginning of Lent
  • Affordable flights and quiet hotels

Bonus: everything starts to bloom. Think almond blossoms, wildflowers, and lush green valleys—the island looks like a painting.

Can you sunbathe in Cyprus in February?

That depends on your expectations. On sunny days, with temperatures of 18–19°C, it's certainly possible to relax for a few hours on the beach or by the pool. Some hotels have heated outdoor pools or wellness areas, making it the perfect addition.

Swimming in the sea is chilly (sea temperature around 17°C), but for the real die-hards or wellness enthusiasts it is certainly doable.
