Croatia Split Weather in February — Climate Guide
February in Split is moderate
February is moderate for Split.
February in Split is mild and quiet, with the city's Carnival (Krnjeval) bringing a splash of color to the off-season. It averages 12°C/5°C with a little less rain than January.
The Split Carnival, in the weeks before Lent, fills the old town with costumes, music, and a parade — a fun, local reason to visit in winter. Otherwise it's a calm city-and-culture month: the palace, the cathedral, Marjan Hill walks, and slow Riva coffees without the crowds.

Split in February — Full Picture
February in Split is mild and quiet, with the city's Carnival (Krnjeval) bringing a splash of color to the off-season. It averages 12°C/5°C with a little less rain than January.
The Split Carnival, in the weeks before Lent, fills the old town with costumes, music, and a parade — a fun, local reason to visit in winter. Otherwise it's a calm city-and-culture month: the palace, the cathedral, Marjan Hill walks, and slow Riva coffees without the crowds.
Prices stay at their lowest and the best konobas are walk-in. As in January, the sea is too cold for swimming (~13°C), island ferries run a reduced timetable, and some seasonal venues are shut.
By late February there's a first hint of spring on milder days. Pack a warm jacket and an umbrella, plus a windproof layer for the bura. A good choice for budget travelers who want the Roman city, not the beaches.
What to Wear & What to Pack
Late winter — around 12°C/5°C, slightly drier than January. A warm jacket, sweater, and an umbrella; a windproof layer for the bura. Still too cold to swim.
