Weather in Haiphong in February

Prime time. February is about as good as Haiphong gets. Highs average 22.7 °C, lows 14.9 °C, and rain falls on 6 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

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

Rain falls on only 6 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: 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 32.4 °C and the coldest night fell to 5.6 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 44 mm — roughly 176% of the month's rain in one day.

February is moderately variable: 4 mm in the driest year against 69 mm in the wettest, around an average of 25 mm. Roughly two Februarys in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 9.2 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

The month is on the way up: 2 °C warmer than January, and March adds another 2.6 °C. Late in the month feels noticeably different from the start of it, which is worth knowing if the trip is short.

Daylight in February

February sits at the dark end of Haiphong's year — 11.5 hours of daylight against 13.4 at midsummer, gaining 0.5 hours across the month. Sightseeing days are genuinely shorter, and an itinerary built for summer will not fit.

Sea temperature

The sea sits at about 20.4 °C in February — swimmable, but it takes a moment to commit. The sea peaks at 29.9 °C in August and bottoms out at 20.4 °C — water lags the air by a month or two, which is why the best swimming often comes after the best weather.

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 Haiphong versus nearby

If Haiphong is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Hanoi is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, the same number of rain days. Thanh Hóa is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 1 day less rain.

So: February is effectively as good as it gets here — 1 points behind December, which is inside the margin where the weather stops being the deciding factor and price starts being it.
