Dallas, Texas Weather in February

February weather

Dallas can feel mild in the afternoon and chilly once the sun goes down. Highs average 15°C, while lows dip to 3°C. Rain falls on about six days, so a wet spell can interrupt plans, but it rarely makes the whole month a washout.

You can stroll Klyde Warren Park or explore the Arts District between showers. Keep the Dallas Museum of Art or the Sixth Floor Museum in mind for a cold, damp day. Long outdoor outings can feel uncomfortable when the wind picks up, so don't count on a full day at the Dallas Arboretum without checking the forecast.

Events and holidays

Valentine's Day brings couples into restaurants around Uptown and the Bishop Arts District. Presidents Day can also mean a long weekend for some visitors and school families. It's a good time for museum visits or a Mavericks game at the American Airlines Center, though game nights add activity around Victory Park.

Families who want indoor plans will find plenty to do at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, especially if February turns wet or cold.

Crowds and practical tips

February is generally quieter than Dallas's spring visitor season, and hotel rates can be gentler than during popular spring months. Still, conventions and major games can make particular weekends busier. March and April tend to draw more visitors, so February suits you if you prefer a calmer city break.

For a simple rainy-day plan, take the DART light rail to St. Paul Station for the Dallas Museum of Art. General admission is free, and you can spend a few comfortable hours indoors before heading to nearby Klyde Warren Park if the clouds clear.
