Where to go in February

132 cities, one measured yardstick: average highs, rain days, rain hours and daylight from multi-year Open-Meteo records. 28 cities sit in the ideal band this month. Ranked by disclosed thresholds the skip list included.

February's picture across TTDI's 87 measured cities leans toward the middle. 33 sit in the mixed comfort band, the largest single group. 22 land in good, 16 in ideal, and another 16 in difficult. The 16 ideal and 22 good cities deliver reliable conditions, but the 33 mixed destinations vary enough that the specific city makes the difference.

Abu Dhabi leads the ranking with an average high of 25°C and 1 rain day in February. Dubai matches exactly, 25°C and 1 rain day. Doha sits close behind at 24°C with 2 rain days. Highs of 24°C to 25°C with 1 to 2 rain days define the top of the table. Cape Town, Phoenix, Kathmandu, Marrakech, and San José fill out the remaining featured positions.

The 16 cities in the difficult band mirror the 16 in ideal, an even split at the extremes. The 33 mixed cities in the middle are where itinerary details tend to matter most.

Abu Dhabi leads February with an average high of 25°C and 1 rain day across the month.
