Azerbaijan Baku Weather in February — Climate Guide
February in Baku is moderate
February is moderate for Baku.
February in Baku is still low season and still windy. It averages 8°C/3°C with light rainfall (about 22mm) and a touch more sunshine than January, but the Caspian wind keeps the feels-like temperature lower.
The city is quiet and cheap — 4-star hotels run $40-70/night and the Old City, Maiden Tower, and Palace of the Shirvanshahs are uncrowded. As in January, the smart play is indoor-heavy: the Heydar Aliyev Center, the Azerbaijan Carpet Museum, and the National Museum of History, with the Flame Towers light show after dark.

Baku in February — Full Picture
February in Baku is still low season and still windy. It averages 8°C/3°C with light rainfall (about 22mm) and a touch more sunshine than January, but the Caspian wind keeps the feels-like temperature lower.
The city is quiet and cheap — 4-star hotels run $40-70/night and the Old City, Maiden Tower, and Palace of the Shirvanshahs are uncrowded. As in January, the smart play is indoor-heavy: the Heydar Aliyev Center, the Azerbaijan Carpet Museum, and the National Museum of History, with the Flame Towers light show after dark.
Gobustan (petroglyphs and mud volcanoes) and the Yanar Dag fire are doable on calmer days, though the open landscape is windswept and grey skies limit photos. The Ateshgah fire temple is partly indoors and works year-round.
February 26 is the Khojaly remembrance, a national day of mourning — expect a subdued mood and some flags at half-mast. Otherwise, this is a value month for travelers who don't mind wind over warmth.
What to Wear & What to Pack
Late winter, much like January — around 8°C/3°C with strong wind. A warm windproof jacket, sweater, and scarf. Rain stays light; the wind chill off the Caspian is the main factor.
