Weather in San Antonio in February

Prime time. If you get to pick your dates, February is the one. Highs average 20.4 °C, lows 7 °C, and rain falls on 5 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

February is the highest-scoring month of the twelve. The nearest rival is November, and the month at the other end of the year is July.

Rain falls on only 5 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 35.6 °C and the coldest night fell to -7.1 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 41 mm — roughly 114% of the month's rain in one day.

This is the volatile part. February rainfall has ranged from 2 mm to 99 mm across the twenty years measured — a 97 mm spread around an average of 36 mm. The average is real but almost no individual February looks like it, so treat the figure as the middle of a wide range rather than a forecast.

Wind is light at 10.5 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

The month is on the way up: 2.7 °C warmer than January, and March adds another 4.3 °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 San Antonio's extremes of 14 and 10.3 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 31.5 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.

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 San Antonio versus nearby

If San Antonio is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Corpus Christi is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, the same number of rain days. Laredo is close enough to be a coin toss — 3.8 °C warmer, 1 day less rain.

So: February is the answer for San Antonio. If it is booked out or priced out, November is the next best thing at 0 points behind, and July is the month to keep off the shortlist.
