Monthly weather and packing notes
February still calls for warm layers and dependable rain protection. Use long trousers and grippy closed shoes for the lanes; save the Srđ ride for its operating season rather than dressing for an unavailable cable-car outing.
- Daytime
- 9–13°C
- Evenings
- 6–10°C
- Rain
- Frequent rain and showers
- Daylight
- Shorter winter days: leave outdoor viewpoints for daylight.
- Packing style
- Warm removable layers and rain protection
Clothing planning bands use the calculated mean daily maximum (10.93°C) and minimum (7.75°C), rounded then expanded by 2°C each way. These are outfit prompts, not forecast limits or confidence intervals. Monthly values are calculated from NASA POWER MERRA-2 gridded daily data for 1991–2020 at the city coordinates. They represent a regional model cell, not a city weather station. Street shade, coastal exposure, elevation and urban warmth can differ. Climate averages do not predict an individual trip. Mean monthly precipitation is 120.27 mm, with 11 model days of at least 1 mm; precipitation includes water-equivalent snowfall. Complete daily records were checked before averaging all thirty years.

What to leave behind

- Only smooth-soled sandals: wall stairs and wet old paving need reliable grip.
