February was colder than average, and rainfall quantities in most areas were lower than the average. The dryness was pronounced in the northern mountains, where less than half of the monthly quantity rained. In the coastal plain, the scarcity of rain was less severe, but rainfall quantities were generally smaller than the average. Only in the Besor region, the northwestern Negev, and in small parts of the northern and central coastal plain was February rainier than average. In this, February joins January, which was extremely dry, and the first part of the rainy season, which was also not especially rainy, so that rainfall quantities from the start of the season are significantly smaller than the average. In the Upper Galilee, the Golan Heights, and the Hula Valley, these quantities are anomalous compared to the past; in the last 80 years, only in the 2013/14 season did smaller rainfall quantities accumulate from the start of the season. Likewise, the scarcity of rainfall in the two months of January and February is exceptionally abnormal in the north of the country.

February was colder than average and, in comparison to the past, it was the coldest since February 2003. The "Coral" cold wave that occurred at the end of the month is worthy to mention, during which the lowest temperatures of the last decade, and even longer, were measured. Despite the scarcity of rain, the number of rain days in February was greater than the average. Together with the low temperatures that prevailed for a large part of the month and the abundant cloudiness, there was a sense of a wintery month, in contrast to the warm, sunny, and dry January.
