Havana in February — Full Picture
February is a prime month in Havana — dry, sunny, and warm at around 27°C by day and 18°C at night, with low humidity and the year's lowest rainfall (about 50mm).
It's about as reliable as Havana weather gets, perfect for the full city program — the plazas, the Malecón, a classic-car tour, day trips to Viñales or the beaches — without the heavy heat and downpours of summer. Sunshine runs high and rain is rare.
The annual Habano (cigar) festival often lands around late February or early March, drawing cigar enthusiasts; dates vary, so check ahead if that's a draw. This remains high season, so prices and demand stay elevated — book casas and the marquee paladares ahead and carry all your cash.
The sea sits around 25°C, comfortable for a swim at Playas del Este. As always, plan for scarce internet (offline maps), possible power outages, and, for US travelers, an authorized travel category.
