February weather forecast
Macedonia

February in Macedonia signals the continuation of the winter season, albeit with some signs of easing off as the month progresses. Like January, February remains predominantly cold, with temperatures in the high mountains often dipping below -20°C (-4°F). Yet, it is typically slightly less cold compared to January, indicating a gradual transition towards milder spring temperatures.

In terms of snowfall, February is still a snowy month, but the volume of snowfall is usually less compared to the peak seen in January. Nevertheless, the high-altitude areas, such as the Dinaric Alps, continue to receive substantial snow, and the snow cover from the preceding months often remains intact due to the persisting low temperatures.

The valleys and low-lying regions experience milder cold compared to the mountains. Nevertheless, the temperatures in these areas remain low, making February still a firmly winter month. The cold is further intensified by the frost and fog that often blanket the landscape, although the frequency and density of fog tend to reduce somewhat as February progresses.

Despite the cold and snow, February has its unique appeal, particularly for winter sports enthusiasts. The snow conditions continue to be ideal for skiing and other winter sports, making the high mountains a hotspot for such activities.

The weather conditions in February also reflect the imminent arrival of spring. Towards the end of February, one might notice the days gradually getting longer, hinting at the onset of spring. The temperatures, too, start creeping up, particularly in the southern regions influenced by the Mediterranean Sea. Nevertheless, winter maintains its grip on the country in February, making it a month of transition from the extreme cold to milder temperatures.
