Weather in Albany in February

Prime time. If you get to pick your dates, February is the one. Highs average 22.5 °C, lows 17.4 °C, and rain falls on 5 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

February ranks 2 of 12 in Albany. Only January scores clearly higher, and the difference is small enough to be settled by price rather than weather.

Rain falls on only 5 days, so an itinerary with no wet-weather fallback is a reasonable risk. Nothing specialised needed — this is the month you pack for the trip rather than for the weather.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: the day barely swings — 5.1 °C between the overnight low and the afternoon high. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest February day reached 33.4 °C and the coldest night fell to 13.7 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 49 mm — roughly 204% of the month's rain in one day.

This is the volatile part. February rainfall has ranged from 6 mm to 105 mm across the twenty years measured — a 99 mm spread around an average of 24 mm. The average is real but almost no individual February looks like it, so treat the figure as the middle of a wide range rather than a forecast.

Wind sits around 19.3 km/h — a steady breeze rather than a nuisance, and welcome on the warmer days, and humidity runs at 75%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How February sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 22.2 °C in January, 22.5 here, 22.2 in March. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much.

Daylight in February

13.4 hours of daylight, losing 1 hours across the month. That is between Albany's extremes of 14.5 and 9.8 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

Sea temperature

The sea sits at about 19.8 °C in February — swimmable, but it takes a moment to commit. This is the warmest the water gets all year.

How busy it gets

Peak season. Expect the highest prices of the year and to be booking well ahead.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

February in Albany versus nearby

If Albany is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Bunbury is the weaker option in February — 8.5 °C warmer, 3 days less rain. Perth is close enough to be a coin toss — 4.4 °C warmer, 3 days less rain.

So: February is effectively as good as it gets here — 0 points behind January, which is inside the margin where the weather stops being the deciding factor and price starts being it.
