Weather in Madrid in February

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

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

What to expect

Daytime

You want a proper coat in Madrid 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

Mixed skies in Madrid in February. Dry days and wet days share the month. Outdoor plans need a backup, not a cancellation policy.

Pack a shell you will actually carry. The monthly table is the place for totals. This is the feel: usable, interrupted.

Evening

Evenings are cooler. A layer helps after sunset.
