Pompeii in February
Not the best time
February improves slightly on January with less rain, but it's still jacket weather. You'll have the ruins mostly to yourself, making it easier to imagine ancient Roman life without crowds blocking every view.
Weather
February stays chilly and unpredictable, with daytime highs around 14°C and nighttime lows of 5°C. Rain comes less frequently than January - about 8 days - but when it hits, it can be heavy.
