Weather in Bucharest in February

February in Bucharest is a coat month. Treat it as cities, food and short walks, not as a terrace holiday.

In Romania, this is how Bucharest actually wears February, not how a country centroid would. Compared with August and January, February sits in the middle of Bucharest's year.

What to expect

Daytime

You want a proper coat in Bucharest in February, not a festival jacket. Wind makes the same afternoon feel sharper than the map suggests.

Outdoor time is the middle of the day. Finish plans before the light goes. Evenings are for indoors.

Rain

February is on the drier side of the year in Bucharest. Showers are possible. They do not define the month.

A shell that lives in the bag is enough. This is not June, and it should not be packed as if it were.

Evening

Evenings are cooler. A layer helps after sunset.

What to pack

  • A layer for cooler evenings
