February weather forecast
Faroe Islands

February continues the winter season in the Faroe Islands, characterized by similar weather conditions to those of January, though there are some noticeable changes. Average temperatures remain cold, typically ranging from 2°C (35.6°F) to 5°C (41°F), marking a slight increase from the previous month. However, the influence of the North Atlantic Drift continues to moderate the temperatures, preventing extreme cold conditions.

Rainfall remains quite high in February, averaging 100mm (3.94") to 120mm (4.72"). Like January, the weather can change rapidly within a single day, and strong winds remain a frequent occurrence. Wind speeds continue to average between 20km/h (12.4mph) and 30km/h (18.6mph), contributing to the overall cool conditions.

Tórshavn, like the rest of the Faroe Islands, continues to experience cold and wet conditions. However, the city's infrastructure and amenities make it easier for visitors and residents to navigate the winter weather.

February sees a gradual increase in daylight hours compared to January, with daylight lasting around six hours, from approximately 9:00 to 15:00. As February transitions into March, the days continue to lengthen, and the first signs of spring begin to appear towards the end of the month.

Although February continues to offer a chance of witnessing the Northern Lights, the gradually lengthening days and the slightly milder temperatures offer a different aspect of the Faroe Islands' scenic beauty compared to the colder, darker January.
