February weather forecast
Belgium

February in Belgium sees the continuation of winter, though there are signs of a gradual transition towards spring towards the month's end. The average temperatures in February are slightly higher than in January, ranging from 0°C (32°F) to 6°C (42.8°F). Coastal regions such as Ostend usually have milder winter temperatures than inland regions, and this trend continues in February.

Similar to January, the Ardennes uplands in the southeast continue to experience colder temperatures than the rest of the country, sometimes accompanied by snowfall. Lower-lying areas like Brussels also remain cold but experience less snow and frost than the Ardennes.

February also brings a gradual increase in daylight hours compared to January. The length of day increases from an average of 10 hours at the start of February to about 11 hours by the end of the month. This increment is a welcome change from the shorter days of January and is a precursor to the longer days of March.

As February transitions into March, the temperatures begin to climb, indicating the onset of spring. However, sudden cold snaps, known as "late winter", can still occur, so visitors should be prepared for potential fluctuations in weather. Despite the lingering cold, February offers beautiful winter landscapes, especially in the Ardennes region, making it an attractive time for those who enjoy the tranquillity of winter or have an interest in winter sports.
