Weather in Évora in February

A good month. February is a solid month to be in Évora. Highs average 15.4 °C, lows 4.5 °C, and rain falls on 8 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

February ranks 8 of 12 in Évora: past the worst of the year but short of May, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain on 8 days, 2 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Pack for 15.4 °C days and 4.5 °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: 3 nights fall below freezing. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest February day reached 22.8 °C and the coldest night fell to -5.1 °C.

February is moderately variable: 0 mm in the driest year against 155 mm in the wettest, around an average of 50 mm. Roughly two Februarys in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 9.4 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity runs at 81%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How February sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 14.2 °C in January, 15.4 here, 18.1 in March. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much.

Daylight in February

10.7 hours of daylight, gaining 1.1 hours across the month. That is between Évora's extremes of 14.8 and 9.5 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 30.1 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.

How busy it gets

Shoulder. The value months — prices ease off and you get the place closer to itself.

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

February in Évora versus nearby

If Évora is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Lisbon is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 1 day more rain. Leiria is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 2 days more rain.

So: February is a compromise. May is 19 points better and is what Évora is actually like at its best — worth moving the trip for if that is possible, and worth adjusting expectations for if it is not.
