Weather in February

February continues the winter narrative for Rhode Island but offers glimmers of change as the month progresses. Providence, as a key city in the region, often experiences temperatures reflective of the state's general conditions.

Across Rhode Island, temperatures in February typically range from 15°F (-9.4°C) to 25°F (-3.9°C). Coastal areas benefit from the Atlantic's moderating influences, leading to slightly less severe cold snaps than their inland counterparts. Nights in the interior can be harsh, but the frequency of temperatures descending below 0°F (-17.8°C) starts to decrease compared to January. Coastal zones continue to maintain milder night conditions.

Snow remains a defining feature of February. The western parts of Rhode Island usually bear the brunt of the snowfall, even though amounts might be marginally less than those observed in January. Providence and the regions flanking the northern bay can expect snow accumulations that are, on average, similar or slightly reduced compared to January.

As February is the bridge between the core winter months and the onset of spring, it can exhibit variability. When comparing to January, February often seems slightly milder, particularly as the month nears its close. This trend of moderating temperatures and decreasing snowfall volumes is a precursor to the transitional weather patterns characteristic of March.
