Montenegro Kotor Weather in February — Climate Guide
February in Kotor is moderate
February is moderate for Kotor.
February in Kotor is mild and quiet, with the Kotor Carnival bringing a splash of color to the off-season. It averages 12°C/5°C with frequent rain, though slightly less than the December-January peak.
The winter carnival fills the Old Town with costumes, music, and a parade — a fun, local reason to visit out of season. Otherwise it's a calm city-and-culture month: the Old Town, the cathedral, the squares, and slow coffees without the crowds, plus a free (but slippery) walls climb on a dry day.

Kotor in February — Full Picture
February in Kotor is mild and quiet, with the Kotor Carnival bringing a splash of color to the off-season. It averages 12°C/5°C with frequent rain, though slightly less than the December-January peak.
The winter carnival fills the Old Town with costumes, music, and a parade — a fun, local reason to visit out of season. Otherwise it's a calm city-and-culture month: the Old Town, the cathedral, the squares, and slow coffees without the crowds, plus a free (but slippery) walls climb on a dry day.
Prices stay at their lowest and the best konobas are walk-in. As in January, the sea is too cold to swim (~14°C), boat trips are limited, and some seasonal venues are shut. The bay's mountains keep the rain coming.
By late February there's a first hint of spring on milder days. Pack a warm jacket, a waterproof, and an umbrella. A good choice for budget travelers who want the medieval town, not the beaches.
What to Wear & What to Pack
Late winter — around 12°C/5°C, still wet. A warm jacket, sweater, waterproof, and umbrella. Too cold to swim. Late February brings the first milder, brighter days.
