Weather in February across the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region shows significant variability, responding dynamically to the region's fluctuating climate conditions. The beginning of the span is marked by light freezing rain, intermittent cloudy spells, and a surprise burst of snow in Geneva, while moderate temperatures range from -10°C to 11°C. Moving forward to Mont-Sion and Frangy, the cold becomes more pronounced, dropping temperatures to the teens below zero. Snowy patches and mixed rain continue, interspersed with rare sunny intervals as temperatures mellow slightly, rising up to 14°C.

As the month progresses into the heart of the region, through Saint-Genix-sur-Guiers and La Côte-Saint-André, the variety of rain continues with less frequency, giving way to more of the winter cold, but easing to more manageable levels. Overall, the pattern oscillates between mildly sunny breaks and dense overcasts, punctuated by the occasional freezing weather.
