Cyprus weather forecast and dam water levels update

Cyprus is currently being affected by an unstable air mass, prompting the Department of Meteorology to issue a yellow weather warning for isolated strong thunderstorms on October 6, 2026. The alert is in effect from 13:00 to 18:00, targeting mountainous areas, the inland, and northwestern regions, where localized rainfall could reach 35 millimeters per hour, potentially accompanied by hail and gusty winds. Meteorological officers, including Tasos Koulentis and Andreas Chrysanthou, noted that weather instability is expected to persist through Wednesday, October 7.

Forecasts indicate that conditions will begin to stabilize starting Thursday, October 8, with clearer skies and a gradual temperature increase, although mercury levels will likely remain slightly below the seasonal average. In addition to the weather reports, authorities confirmed that the island's water situation has improved significantly. As of October 2, reservoir levels reached 35.8 percent capacity, holding approximately 103.975 million cubic meters of water. This is a substantial increase compared to the 12.3 percent capacity, or 35.688 million cubic meters, recorded during the same period last year.
