The weather in Djerba in February is much like January in terms of temperature. However you can feel a slight warming in the air showing that this is the last month that can truly be considered part of the winter season.
The average temperature of 14°C is enough to discard any thick clothing you need in most of Northern Europe at this time of the year, and opt for something a lot lighter instead.
But make sure you keep a light cardigan with you, especially in the evening, as some days the temperature can drop to an average low of 10°C, especially in the depths of night.
February is a good month to visit Djerba because the days are long and very bright. Sunshine can be seen for an average of 10 hours every day, so there is ample opportunity to explore the region. And with only a 1% chance of a cloudy day, there is very little chance of your view being hampered by the weather anywhere on the island.
Average peak temperatures commonly reach up to 18°C at this time of the year. And though February is still considered part of the rainy season, there is far less precipitation than in the wettest months of October, November and December. Instead, you can expect rain on approximately 6 days of the month in February. With a total of around 30mm of rainfall accumulating throughout the entire month.
Sea temperatures are also at their coldest during February. This means the water is approximately 14°C throughout the month. And with a slight off shore breeze adding to the chill factor, only the very bravest swimmers are going to take a dip. However, for those that enjoy their water sports on top of the surface, February is a great time to get out and get active.

Things to Do
Jama Fadloud is a traditional mosque set in the beautiful town of Midoun, and a wonderful place to visit during any stay in Djerba. Even for those that don't venture inside, the architecture and authentic water recovery system are worth a visit in themselves. And when it comes to the views, they are simply out of this world. The Jama Fadloud is still used as a place of worship, so native customs of head covering and the removal of shoes must be observed for those permitted to enter the building. But the feeling of calm is felt all around. Combine a trip to Jama Fadloud with a trip to Midoun itself, which is full of activity on a daily basis. Or simply take your time to enjoy this sensational building.
Whether you are travelling to Djerba for a romantic getaway, or you just want to experience the exquisite sun set, take a trip to Phare de Taguermess in Midoun. This is an area protected by the military, so it is not possible to get too close to the lighthouse. But the view over the shore when the sun goes down really is something to behold. Wait for the full moon to come out behind the structure and the photo opportunity is award winning. It's the perfect way to finish any night in Djerba and make your holiday snaps something to be proud of.
Restaurants and Nightlife
La Cote de Boeuf is not the place to eat if you are visiting Djerba on a budget. But if you are willing to pay a little extra to enjoy the finest food, then a table booked here would never be wasted.

But there are also a range of vegetarian and seafood options for those that would rather have something different. And it doesn't even matter if you want to enjoy their wonderful hospitality all night. Taxis are available when you want to go home, even if it's four in the morning.
