How warm is it in Tulum during February?
The temperature reaches around 28℃ during the daytime in February, falling away to 22℃ at night. Of course, the high humidity will make it feel even hotter. The UV index will be high at this time of year, so protection against skin and eye damage is needed. Try to limit exposure between 10am and 4pm. Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every few hours, even if it's cloudy, or more frequently after sweating or swimming, and wear UV-blocking sunglasses too, and bear in mind that bright surfaces, such as sand and water increase UV exposure.

Is it windy in Tulum during February?
You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a light breeze that picks up slightly at times in February. The high humidity and warm temperature will make the breeze feel warm, so any cooling effect will be limted.
How warm is the sea in Tulum during February?
The water around Tulum reaches a very pleasant 27℃ during February. This is very warm, and will feel bath-like. People who normally feel the cold will find this temperature perfectly acceptable.
