February in Baja California offers a generally mild and sunny climate, making it an attractive destination for those seeking respite from colder northern climates. Coastal regions experience average daytime temperatures ranging from the high 60s to low 70s Fahrenheit (low 20s Celsius), while inland deserts can be warmer, reaching into the 80s Fahrenheit (high 20s Celsius). Rainfall is typically low during this month, contributing to predominantly dry conditions. However, variations exist between the northern and southern portions of the peninsula, with the north experiencing slightly cooler temperatures and a greater chance of precipitation.
This period offers favorable conditions for a variety of outdoor activities, from whale watching and watersports to hiking and exploring desert landscapes. The temperate weather also coincides with the grey whale migration season, providing opportunities for unique wildlife encounters. Historically, February has represented a period of transition in the region, marking the end of the cooler winter months and the gradual shift towards warmer spring temperatures. This comfortable climate has contributed to the peninsula’s popularity as a winter tourism destination.
