Lanzarote in February
Around 19 °C by day, sea 18.6 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 3 out of 5 against 4.
February on Lanzarote is 19 °C by day, 18.6 °C in the sea. Only January is cooler in the air (18.5 °C) and only March in the water (18.5 °C), and that is the whole of winter here.
February is windy. The trade wind blows for much of the year, and in winter it is joined by the calima — Saharan dust carried in on an easterly: the air turns hazy, the temperature jumps several degrees and it holds for days. It is local and ordinary, but anyone with asthma should know about it in advance. Otherwise the island works year-round: all four places in our base score 5 out of 5 for winter liveability.

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: 20 rainy days a year, 62% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
