February in Yuma, AZ: peak season for golf — great conditions and a wide playing window. Best tee times: mid-morning through early afternoon.
| Average February Weather | |
|---|---|
| Avg daily high | 73°F |
| Avg daily low | 49°F |
| Rainy days | 3 / mo |
| Avg peak wind | 12.5 mph |
February's numbers translate to a playable but variable day on the course. A 73°F average high sits comfortably inside the ideal 60–80°F window, which means fairways won't bake the ball into a hard bounce and you won't be sweating through your back nine. The catch is the 24°F daily swing — a 49°F morning start is cold enough to tighten your swing, slow your putting stroke, and add a club or two on approach shots until things warm up. Peak wind touches 12.5 mph, technically moderate, but on Yuma's open desert layouts that's enough to push a mid-iron offline. Three potential rain days in the month is the joint-highest figure on Yuma's calendar, though in absolute terms three days is a short interruption, not a season.
The net scorecard effect: expect your first few holes to play longer and slower than midday holes, wind to be the bigger scoring variable than temperature, and rare but real chances of a shortened round if a front moves through. Book a late-morning tee time to sidestep the coldest hour and catch the calmest part of the day before afternoon gusts arrive.
With a 49°F morning low and a 12.5 mph peak wind, an 8:30–9:30 AM start gives temperatures time to climb past 60°F before you reach the more demanding second-shot holes, while still finishing before afternoon wind peaks. February is Yuma's joint-wettest month, so check a 72-hour forecast before you lock in a same-week booking rather than relying on a monthly average.

February's 73°F high is 4°F warmer than January's 69°F, and precipitation days are identical at three each, so the transition feels gradual rather than sudden. Heading into March, the average high jumps another 5°F to 78°F and rain days drop by one, making March slightly drier and noticeably warmer. Wind, however, ticks up to 13 mph in March, so February's 12.5 mph peak is actually the calmer of the two months despite being busier on the calendar.

February sits in Yuma's peak season, with a 73°F average high that falls squarely in the ideal playing range. The main caveats are chilly morning starts around 49°F and a 12.5 mph peak wind that can affect shot shape on exposed desert courses. Three possible rain days is the joint-highest figure on Yuma's calendar, but in practice those are short windows rather than day-long washouts.
Overnight lows average 49°F, meaning a 7 AM tee time can feel genuinely cold — enough to restrict shoulder turn and reduce ball carry by several yards compared to a midday round. Temperatures typically climb into the mid-60s by mid-morning and reach the low 70s by early afternoon. Planning a start after 8:30 AM avoids the worst of it without sacrificing much of the day.
