What to expect in Ilhéus in February
Editor's tip
February finds Ilhéus in the middle of summer. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Temperatures are pleasant, with highs of 29 °C (84 °F) and nights that still call for a light jacket. It is one of the busiest times of the year: the destination fills up, rates go up and the best hotels sell out early. Book ahead or choose weekdays. It rains fairly often, so keep an indoor plan handy for gray days. If the dates line up, it is worth fitting Carnival in Ilhéus into your itinerary: it is what livens up the destination at that time of year.
