February travel

Where to go on holiday in February?

Cancun scores 7.6 out of 10 in February: 29C days, a 26C sea you can swim in without flinching, and 60mm of rain that mostly falls in short afternoon bursts. Here is how the rest of the world stacks up this month.

Crowds. Peak season. Book flights and restaurants well ahead.

Prices. Highest rates of the year, so lock in early.

Seaweed. Sargassum seaweed risk is low, so the sand is at its cleanest.

Storms. Outside hurricane season entirely.
