Brisbane In February Travel Guide

Brisbane in February means the end of school summer holidays and back to work, except on weekends when making the most of all the outdoor activities Brisbane has to offer....

February is a relatively quiet month in the city because schools are back, cityworkers are back at work and there are no major events.

Chinese New Year often falls in February (though it moves around) and celebrations centre around Chinatown in Fortitude Valley. Lion dancers, chinese food, lanterns and more to be seen.

February is another HOT month in Brisbane. If you visit at this time of the year air-conditioning becomes your friend unless you can cool down on or by the water.

The city gets VERY HOT as it doesn't get the cooling sea breezes like the coastal and bayside suburbs.

Most questions about visiting Brisbane during February relate to the weather, what you can expect, what to wear or pack, what's on and what you can do. Read on for some answers ...

Weather in Brisbane in February

# - I have quoted Gold Coast sea temperature because the data I found for Brisbane was a bit difficult to interpret. Moreton Bay can have significantly different temperatures than the general ocean temperatures and realistically you don't come to Brisbane for the beach, but you do go to Gold and Sunshine Coasts for that. This is just an indication.

Tips for Visitors to Brisbane in February

For Australian Visitors

February can be a good time to visit if you are not bound by school holidays and want to enjoy the very warm weather we get at this time of the year. Because our main holidays have just finished and there are not any major events this month, sometimes you can get a good deal on accomodation. However, do not underestimate how HOT Brisbane gets. It does not get the ocean breeze of the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast or bayside suburbs.

Tips - Make sure you can find somewhere to cool down. Aircon essential in both accommodation and when you hire a car.

For Overseas Visitors To Brisbane

Brisbane summers (December, January and February) can be fierce in many ways. Brisbane gets extremely hot and humid plus we get summer storms. Often the storms don't interfere with much as they build throughout the day and go off late afternoon, early evening with thunder, lightning and a dump of rain.

It is not so busy in Brisbane during February as there are no major events. Air-conditioning in your accommodation is absolutely essential as well as in your hire car! If you are hiring a smaller car and can drive a manual you will find it copes better with the airconditioning than the automatics.

Things To Do in Brisbane in February

• Go shopping in an airconditioned shopping centre like WinterGarden in the city, Westfield Chermside, Westfield Garden City or Westfield Carindale!
