The Valley Weather in February

February weather

February is warm and steady in The Valley, with highs around 26°C and lows only a degree or so cooler, so evenings stay mild too. Humidity can make walking feel sticky, but rain tends to come in brief bursts. Expect about four wet days, with plenty of sun between showers. January is a little wetter and March is much the same, so this stretch of the year is reliably good for weather.

That steady weather suits a day out. Shoal Bay East is a good choice, or you could take a swim at Meads Bay or wander through The Valley's old streets. A short shower won't spoil a beach day. If humid weather tires you, save the long, exposed walks for another time.

Things to do

February doesn't bring a major local festival to The Valley. Anguilla's best-known celebrations fall later in the year, so don't expect Carnival crowds or a packed event calendar. Valentine's Day may bring a special dinner at island restaurants, but it isn't a local public holiday.

When the beach gets to be too much, the island's history is close by. You can explore Wallblake House, one of Anguilla's oldest surviving plantation houses, or visit the Heritage Collection Museum. Travelling with kids? A calm beach morning followed by the museum makes an easy change of pace.

Crowds and costs

February sits in Anguilla's high season, in the middle of the popular December-to-April stretch. The Valley itself can feel quiet, but beaches and restaurants may be busier, and stays often cost more than in the wetter summer months. US school breaks can add to the demand, so book ahead if you're set on a particular place.

If crowds wear you down, try Rendezvous Bay for a quieter-feeling beach day, then head back to The Valley before dinner. For a local stop, ask about the day's catch at a restaurant near Sandy Ground. Fresh grilled fish is a good fit after a morning on the sand.
