February weather forecast
Sierra Leone

As Sierra Leone's dry season persists, February continues to offer agreeable weather conditions. While January is the driest month, February sees only a slight uptick in rainfall, with average precipitation typically ranging from 10mm (0.39") to 15mm (0.59"). Thus, the weather remains generally conducive for travel and outdoor exploration, despite the marginally increased rainfall.

Temperature-wise, February exhibits consistency with January. The coastal regions, including the bustling capital of Freetown, experience temperatures from 24°C (75.2°F) to 34°C (93.2°F). The central and eastern regions, marked by higher altitudes, may witness slightly lower nighttime temperatures, but overall, the climate remains warm and inviting across the country.

Although February marks the end of the peak tourist season, it retains much of the appeal. The low rainfall and warm temperatures continue to permit a wide range of outdoor activities, from beach visits to wildlife safaris. The minimal rainfall and reduced humidity also continue to contribute to a lower risk of malaria transmission, an important consideration for travellers.

Comparatively, February serves as a transitional period between the extremely dry conditions of January and the marginally wetter conditions of March. While it retains the favourable characteristics of the dry season, signs of the upcoming wet season begin to manifest towards the end of the month. Nonetheless, February's weather generally offers an appealing blend of warmth, sunshine, and minimal rainfall, rendering it an attractive month for visiting Sierra Leone.
