The last month of meteorological winter has arrived! Will there be a lot of winter weather again or will February be too mild? You can read about it in this monthly forecast for February.

For winter lovers, the February weather charts do not look promising. The month of February begins with mild, changeable and humid weather. Rain and rain from the Atlantic Ocean moves across our country at a fast pace and the winds can be very strong at times. In weather like this you regularly come with high winds at sea and we shouldn’t be surprised if there is a storm.

So you will regularly need a storm umbrella at the beginning of February! Beautiful sunny moments can also be expected between rainy areas and showers and who knows, you might even see rainbows.

Winds blow from west to southwest in the first half of February, bringing thin air. The chance of frost is small, but with no wind breaks, it can still freeze a bit at night and early in the morning. During the day the temperature varies between 5 and 10 degrees. With this we can talk about normal to fairly mild weather, because on average it is around 6 degrees. Because the winds are often strong, you can experience cooler weather than the thermometer indicates.

Winter is still at the last minute?

It is likely to be cooler and drier in the second half of February. This is because areas of precipitation will likely take a northerly path and we will end up in calmer weather. In calm weather, fog or low clouds can easily form and less rain falls than normal.
