What February is like
Much like January by day, but February has the lowest average low of the year, 8.5 °C, and the station’s coldest night between 1991 and 2020: −3.6 °C, on 5 February 1997. The rain eases off to 60.1 mm.
February is the eleventh-warmest month of the year in Paphos and the third-wettest, with 15% of the year’s rain. By day it’s about as warm as January and 1.6 °C cooler than March.
Relative humidity at the airport averages 69% in February, against 70% over the year. These are the averages for Paphos Airport, on the coast 9 metres above the sea; Villa Prasino is in Peyia, on a hillside above the sea at Coral Bay, so take them as a guide to the season rather than a forecast.
What’s open in February
- There are no lifeguards on Coral Bay beach: their season runs from April to October.
- The Kato Paphos archaeological park is on its winter hours, 08:30 to 17:00.
- Heavy winter rain can make the Akamas gorges dangerous: in March 2026 firefighters from Peyia rescued 31 hikers from rising water in the Avakas Gorge, which the Department of Forests had closed in December 2025. Keep out of gorges and dry riverbeds after rain.
What’s on in February 2027
- Cyprus Marathon, Paphos, Saturday 27 February 2027 to Sunday 28 February 2027.

Is February a good time to visit?
For winter sun, February is mild, with an average high of 17.6 °C and about 7 hours of sunshine a day, though it’s one of the rainier months. The sea is about 16–17 °C, so most swimmers will prefer a pool.
For ideas whatever the weather, see things to do in Coral Bay.
What to pack for February
A warm layer and a waterproof: the average low is 8.5 °C, and February is one of the wetter months.
