Barcelona in February

Carnival falls in February, with dates that follow Easter. Fewer tourists mean it is easier to book Gaudí sites. The beach is for walking, not swimming. Calçot season is still on.

Days averaged 15°C and nights 7°C, cool enough that outdoor sightseeing called for a layer. Rain was rare: 4 rain days on average. 2 of 20 years had a completely dry February, while 2018 reached 10 rain days.

Nights fell below 5°C on 6 days on average. Not every year was typical: 2024 ran 2.5°C warmer than the mean, with highs of 17.5°C. Cold snaps happened: the record low for February was −1.6°C, set in 2012.
