Weather in Mobile in February

A good month. February is a solid month to be in Mobile. Highs average 16.9 °C, lows 9.7 °C, and rain falls on 10 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

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

Rain on 10 days, 4 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Pack for 16.9 °C days and 9.7 °C nights; the spread matters more here than any single number.

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 24.4 °C and the coldest night fell to -1.1 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 56 mm — roughly 48% of the month's rain in one day.

February is statistically steady but not small: the year-to-year variation is modest in relative terms, yet the wettest February on record still delivered 243 mm against 60 mm in the driest. In a month this wet, even a tame spread is a lot of rain in absolute terms — the 116 mm average is a reasonable planning figure, not a promise.

Wind is light at 10.8 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity runs at 83%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How February sits in the year

The month is on the way up: 1.8 °C warmer than January, and March adds another 3.1 °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

11.1 hours of daylight, gaining 0.8 hours across the month. That is between Mobile's extremes of 14.1 and 10.2 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

Sea temperature

The sea sits at about 19 °C in February — swimmable, but it takes a moment to commit. The sea peaks at 29.8 °C in August and bottoms out at 19 °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

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 Mobile versus nearby

If Mobile is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. New Orleans is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, the same number of rain days. Montgomery is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, the same number of rain days.

So: February works, with November the better month by 15 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
