February weather forecast
Lesotho

February continues the trend of warm and wet weather in Lesotho, as it is still the height of the southern hemisphere's summer. The average temperatures across the country generally fall between 15°C (59°F) and 28°C (82.4°F). However, similar to January, the geographical diversity of Lesotho leads to a range of microclimates. In lower altitude areas, such as the capital Maseru, temperatures can reach the higher end of this spectrum, while the mountainous regions, including Thaba-Tseka, are typically cooler.

Rainfall remains high in February, with average precipitation levels closely mirroring those of January, at 120mm (4.72"). These rains predominantly take the form of afternoon thunderstorms, which are a common feature of Lesotho's summer months. While the precipitation in February is marginally lower than that of January, it is still significantly higher than in the upcoming months of March and April, which mark the transition into the drier autumn season.

Although February shares the warm and rainy conditions of the summer months, the intensity of the sun, due to Lesotho's high altitude, remains strong. As such, sun protection remains essential. Moreover, given the propensity for sudden changes in weather, visitors should be prepared with suitable clothing and gear for both wet and dry conditions. Despite the potential for rainfall, February's temperatures and lush landscapes provide ample opportunity for exploration and outdoor activities.
