In the Florida Keys in Feb it is usually quite warm (i.e. in the 70s
and 80s and occasionally 90s) in the daytime and cools off down to
about 60 at night. However there is usually a breeze which helps keep
the heat from being too oppressive (I don't like temps in the high 80s
and 90s). Sometimes it is quite humid. But occasionally we do get
days which are 50-60 during the day - usually also windy and sometimes
rainy as well.
The problem with the FL Keys is they are VERY expensive.
Almost anyplace in FL is expensive in Feb/March especially the Keys.
School teachers can't find a place they can afford to live in Marathon
unless they already live there.

is a link to average temps in the Keys. It looks like Corpus and
Houston are both much cooler in Feb.
