Cebu in February

After Sinulog, rainy days drop noticeably. A good time for island hopping and the beaches on Mactan. The midday heat is milder than in March to May, so daytime activities are comfortable. In years when Lunar New Year falls in February, check the holiday dates.

Highs averaged 30°C and lows stayed at 24°C, so the heat hung on long after sunset. Rain fell on 11 days of the month on average. February could skip rain entirely: 1 of 20 years had none, while 2012 had 22 rain days.

Highs topped 30°C on 16 days of the month on average. Mixing in indoor stops at midday made sense.
