Weather in Bunbury in February

Prime time. February is about as good as Bunbury gets. Highs average 31 °C, lows 17 °C, and rain falls on 2 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

February ranks 6 of 12 in Bunbury: past the worst of the year but short of November, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain falls on only 2 days, so an itinerary with no wet-weather fallback is a reasonable risk. Pack for 31 °C days and 17 °C nights; the spread matters more here than any single number.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 18 days top 30 °C — hot spells arrive, but they break. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest February day reached 40.1 °C and the coldest night fell to 11.3 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 58 mm — roughly 527% of the month's rain in one day.

This is the volatile part. February rainfall has ranged from 1 mm to 84 mm across the twenty years measured — a 83 mm spread around an average of 11 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 is light at 15.3 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 55%.

How February sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 31 °C in January, 31 here, 28.8 in March. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much.

Daylight in February

13.3 hours of daylight, losing 1 hours across the month. That is between Bunbury's extremes of 14.3 and 10 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

Sea temperature

The sea sits at about 22.2 °C in February — comfortable for a proper swim. This is the warmest the water gets all year.

How busy it gets

Busy. Popular without being frantic; book the things you care about, improvise the rest.

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

February in Bunbury versus nearby

If Bunbury is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Perth is a better bet in February — 4.1 °C cooler, the same number of rain days. Albany is a better bet in February — 8.5 °C cooler, 3 days more rain.

So: February works, with November the better month by 10 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
