Gran Canaria in February
Around 18.5 °C by day, sea 19.3 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 2 out of 5 against 3.
February and January are the coolest months for air: 18.5 °C by day. The sea is 19.3 °C, and only March is lower (19.1 °C). Cold by the island's standards, and about what May is in Málaga by the mainland's (20 °C by day, 18.3 °C in the sea).
Load is 2 out of 5, as in January, against 3 in December. It is a convenient month for a scouting trip: in Maspalomas and Mogán in the south you can see what runs all year and what opens for the season. Rain is rare here in any month — 25 days a year against 55 in Palma de Mallorca — but humidity at 68% is higher than in Arrecife on dry Lanzarote (62%).

The winter column is a 1-to-5 score: how many cafés, hotels and shops run in January compared with the best month of the year. Where a village has no government figure of its own, it is our estimate. Tourists never notice; anyone who moved does.
Rain days and humidity are annual here, not monthly: 25 rainy days a year, 68% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
