February was, in general, colder and rainier than average, but there were noticeable differences between parts of the month. Until February 8th, large amounts of rain fell and it was colder than normal. Later on, until the 16th, it continued to be cold, but with little rainfall. In the last part of the month, there was no rainfall at all and it became warmer, with a heatwave at the end of the month.
Rainfall totals in February were larger than average, especially in the northern and central mountains and the southern coastal plain, so that the large deficit of accumulated rainfall, which existed at the end of January, was reduced early in the month. However, the deficit reemerged as the month continued, so the cumulative rain amounts since the start of the season until the end of February reached approximately 75% of the average for the period.
