Rainfall remains virtually non-existent in February, continuing the dry spell from the previous months. The arid conditions contribute to the country's overall water deficit, especially prominent in the Saharan desert region.

The capital city of Niamey experiences a slight increase in temperatures compared to January, with averages ranging between 20°C (68°F) to 36°C (96.8°F). However, the city continues to enjoy clear skies and an abundance of sunshine, providing great opportunities for sightseeing and exploring the urban environment.

Daylight hours remain fairly constant, with an average of 10 to 11 hours of daylight per day. The clear, sunny conditions are a carryover from January, and the Harmattan winds, which previously caused dusty and hazy conditions, are significantly reduced by February. The steady increase in temperature signifies the onset of the hot dry season, preparing the country for the intense heat that is to follow in the coming months.
