Below are the best locations for a trip from February 19th to February 25th. We’ve taken into account rain, temperature, travel advisories for safety, and number of tourists in the area. In mid February each of these places are the perfect balance between temperate weather and smaller crowds, which also translates into better deals for tourists.
Because we’ve located areas and times where there is a greater chance for hotels/flights to be under capacity and weather is likely to be temperate and dry, the best time to book these 10 trips is usually within 1-4 weeks before travel.
1. San Diego, CA, US

3. Wellington, New Zealand
Due to the average number of tourists, a trip to Wellington in mid February tends to be neither the least nor the most expensive, but the weather couldn’t be better. This period of ideal weather comes after some similarly enjoyable weather. If booking a longer trip, you’ll want to know that the weather will be almost as enjoyable for the next 30 days. Due to the more remote nature crowds are usually manageable year-round.

4. St Augustine, FL, US
As with every place on this list, temperatures in St Augustine feel excellent, rain is infrequent, and there are no travel advisories at the moment. Tourists looking for hotels and flights are uncommon during this time, so prices may be lower. Because it’s a little less common of a destination, massive crowds aren’t likely. We wouldn’t recommend visiting earlier than this, and the weeks following have weather that is as good as mid February.

5. South Padre Island, TX, US
With far fewer travelers booking during this time compared to the busiest months, hotels and airlines will probably offer some incentives to stay during this period. This is a good time to visit, but the weeks beforehand are also very nice. If you’re planning to stay for more than a week, you’ll likely find enjoyable weather the whole time.
