What to pack for Naples (FL) in February
Heading to Naples (FL) in February? Here's a packing list built directly from local climate averages — not generic blog advice.
February is one of the coldest months of the year in Naples (FL) (ranked 10 of 12) and among the driest (ranked 10 of 12). Day temperatures are 2°C warmer than January and still warming into March — so this month's packing list won't be identical to January's or March's.

Power, voltage & adapters

- ★ Plug types: A, B (Type A — flat 2-pin (US/Canada/Japan style)) Most common: A. Older buildings may also use B.
- • From the UK/Ireland: bring a G→A travel adapter UK Type G plugs don't fit United States's outlets
- • From continental Europe: bring a C/F→A travel adapter EU Type C/F plugs don't fit United States's outlets
- • If your device is labeled '220–240V only' (common for European hairdryers/kettles), it WILL underperform or not work at all here. Most phone/laptop chargers are dual-voltage — they're fine. United States runs 120V — too low for EU-only 230V devices
- · Easiest option: a universal travel adapter (e.g. Anker, Epicka) that handles A/B/C/E/F/G/I in one — covers ~95% of countries. If you travel to multiple regions
