Weather in Mexicali in February

Prime time. February is about as good as Mexicali gets. Highs average 23.9 °C, lows 9.6 °C, and rain falls on 4 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

February ranks 4 of 12 in Mexicali: 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 4 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

The averages here are honest — no hidden extremes worth planning around. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest February day reached 35.2 °C and the coldest night fell to -2 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 27 mm — roughly 113% of the month's rain in one day.

February is moderately variable: 0 mm in the driest year against 55 mm in the wettest, around an average of 24 mm. Roughly two Februarys in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 7.2 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 43%.

How February sits in the year

The month is on the way up: 2.2 °C warmer than January, and March adds another 4 °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

11 hours of daylight, gaining 0.9 hours across the month. That is between Mexicali's extremes of 14.3 and 10 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 36 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage. Within February itself the daily swing is 14.3 °C, so mornings and afternoons need different clothes.

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 Mexicali versus nearby

If Mexicali is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. San Diego is close enough to be a coin toss — 3.5 °C cooler, 3 days more rain. Riverside is close enough to be a coin toss — 3.1 °C cooler, 2 days more rain.

So: February is effectively as good as it gets here — 5 points behind November, which is inside the margin where the weather stops being the deciding factor and price starts being it.
