Around 13.5 °C by day, sea 15.2 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 2 out of 5 against 4.
February in Málaga is 13.5 °C by day and 15.2 °C in the sea, the coldest water of the year. For comparison, February in Santa Cruz de Tenerife is 19 °C by day and 19.5 °C in the sea — the difference of exactly one flight.
February is the emptiest month in the city along with January: load 2 out of 5. Which is precisely why it is useful for a scouting trip. You see what a flat is like in cold and damp at 71% humidity, whether the heaters work, whether there is mould in the corners. Viewing property in August, when everything is dry and bright, is the commonest of the mistakes that turn out to be expensive.

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: 46 rainy days a year, 71% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
