February weather forecast
Mali

The month of February in Mali continues the trend of the dry season, albeit with slowly rising temperatures as the country moves towards the hot season starting in March. Average temperatures in February tend to range from 24°C (75.2°F) in the southern regions to a slightly warmer 29°C (84.2°F) in the northern parts of the country, particularly near the Sahara. Cities such as Bamako and Sikasso, located in the southern part of the country, experience more temperate climates during this time, with average temperatures hovering around 25°C (77°F).

Just as in January, February sees almost no rainfall across the country. The dry Harmattan wind from the Sahara continues to be a significant factor, reducing humidity levels and creating dusty conditions, although it begins to diminish towards the end of the month. This low humidity and dusty wind distinguish February from the wetter months later in the year.

Comparatively, temperatures in February are slightly higher than those in the preceding month of January, and they are still lower than the intense heat that is characteristic of March. Despite the increase, February remains within the comfortable range for outdoor activities and exploration, although visitors should be prepared for dusty conditions due to the Harmattan wind.
