How warm is it in Zimbabwe during February?

The temperature reaches around 28℃ during the daytime in February, falling away to 17℃ at night. Of course, the high humidity will make it feel even hotter. The UV index will be moderate at this time of year, so not something to worry about for the average person. However, if you're going to be outside for long periods it's worth wearing a broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen and UV-blocking sunglasses. Remember that bright surfaces, such as water and sand increase UV exposure.

Does it rain in Zimbabwe during February?

On average, there will be 9 rainy days during the month, amounting to 216.0mm in total. That's a lot of rain. For comparison, the wettest months in the UK typically sees between 80mm and 100mm, depending on where you are. Due to the high temperature and humidity, you might expect lots of thunderstorms, however they're actually fairly infrequent at this time of year. On average, February will see just 3 days that produce a storm.

Is it windy in Zimbabwe 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.
