What's the weather like in Torremolinos in February
February in Torremolinos still marks the winter season, so the weather is still cool and the tourist season is not yet in full swingot even close, in fact. However, the weather remains reasonably warm and pleasant throughout the winter, with clear skies, making it a popular destination to travel to during the winter months.

February is a bit warmer than January, the coolest month of the year, and has an average temperature of 13°C. (That same average temperature was also recorded in December.)

Average Sea Temperature
Although the air temperature begins to increase ever so slowly, the sea temperature stays behind. It still averages 16°C, just like it did in January and will keep doing in March. This is as cool as the Mediterranean Sea ever gets in the resort.
Rain

Light rain is quite common, too, occurring on 24% of those days. Other types that may be experienced are thunderstorms, drizzle and heavy, but being recorded on 12%, 12% and 7% respectively, they are much less likely.
Cloud Cover
Just as rainfall is at its highest this time of year, so is cloud cover. The percentage of cloud cover ranges around 42%, which indicates that the sky is generally partly cloudy in Torremolinos in February.
