Cyprus weather forecast: unstable conditions and rainfall expected

Cyprus is preparing for a significant change in weather conditions starting September 30, as a low-pressure system is set to influence the region. Following an unusually wet September, where rainfall reached 180% of the monthly average by September 28—with Larnaca Airport recording 31.8mm and Frenaros 26mm—the upcoming days are expected to bring more frequent rain, isolated thunderstorms, and a gradual drop in temperatures.

Meteorological officials report that the instability will intensify through Friday, with local rain and thunderstorms primarily occurring after midday. Hail is possible during these events, and meteorological conditions are expected to become particularly intense or prolonged by Friday. Temperatures are forecasted to fall below average levels for the season by the end of the week, dropping significantly from the current highs of approximately 30°C inland.

Citizens are advised by authorities to monitor official weather updates as the system moves across the region. While current forecasts indicate the unsettled pattern will persist through Saturday, the meteorological department continues to track the development of the cold air mass moving into the Eastern Mediterranean.
