Weather in Shreveport in February

Shoulder season. February is shoulder season in Shreveport — cheaper, quieter, and a genuine gamble. Highs average 15.2 °C, lows 3.9 °C, and rain falls on 10 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

February ranks 6 of 12 in Shreveport: 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 15.2 °C days and 3.9 °C nights; the spread matters more here than any single number.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 7 nights fall below freezing. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest February day reached 27.3 °C and the coldest night fell to -7.4 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 155 mm — roughly 130% of the month's rain in one day.

February is moderately variable: 43 mm in the driest year against 330 mm in the wettest, around an average of 119 mm. Roughly two Februarys in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 2.7 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity runs at 84%, 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 4.9 °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 Shreveport'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 — 33.9 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.

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 Shreveport versus nearby

If Shreveport is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Little Rock is the weaker option in February — 3.1 °C cooler, the same number of rain days. Dallas is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 3 days less rain.

So: February is a compromise. November is 20 points better and is what Shreveport is actually like at its best — worth moving the trip for if that is possible, and worth adjusting expectations for if it is not.
