The big caveat is Chinese New Year, which usually falls in February (sometimes late January).

Johor Bahru in February — Full Picture
February is one of JB's drier, sunnier months as the northeast monsoon eases, averaging about 32°C/23°C with fewer downpours — a good time for outdoor sightseeing and the Desaru beaches.
The big caveat is Chinese New Year, which usually falls in February (sometimes late January). Expect packed malls, some Chinese-run businesses closed for several days, surging Singapore-side visitors, and very heavy Causeway jams over the holiday. If you visit during CNY, book ahead, cross the border early, and plan around closures.
Outside the CNY week, February is comfortable: clearer skies make the mosque, Glass Temple, and old-town walk pleasant in the morning, and the calmer seas suit a Desaru day trip. Heat and strong sun are still the main factors, so hydrate and use sun protection.
Pack light clothing, sun protection, and a small umbrella for the occasional shower.
