Weather in Fes in February

A good month. February is a solid month to be in Fes. Highs average 18.7 °C, lows 7.1 °C, and rain falls on 10 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

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

Rain on 10 days, 3 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. 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: it never really gets hot: not one day in an average February reaches 30 °C. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest February day reached 29 °C and the coldest night fell to -1.9 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 76 mm — roughly 88% of the month's rain in one day.

February is moderately variable: 5 mm in the driest year against 198 mm in the wettest, around an average of 86 mm. Roughly two Februarys in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 8.4 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 70%.

How February sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 17.4 °C in January, 18.7 here, 21.7 in March. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much.

Daylight in February

10.9 hours of daylight, gaining 1 hours across the month. That is between Fes's extremes of 14.4 and 9.9 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 32.4 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.

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 Fes versus nearby

If Fes is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Chefchaouen is the weaker option in February — 3.4 °C cooler, the same number of rain days. Tangier is close enough to be a coin toss — 2.8 °C cooler, 1 day less rain.

So: February works, with April the better month by 8 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
