Weather in Cyprus to shift from heat to rain this week

Weather conditions in Cyprus are set to deteriorate significantly over the coming days, marking a transition from warm, dusty air to cooler, rainy weather. On Sunday, October 11, the island will experience variable cloud cover and lingering dust from the Middle East, with temperatures reaching up to +32°C in Nicosia, +30°C on the southern and eastern coasts, +28°C on the western coast, and +22°C in the Troodos mountains.

Starting Monday and Tuesday, October 12-13, the weather will remain largely sunny, though isolated rain and thunderstorms are possible in the mountains and northern regions. A notable shift will occur on Wednesday, October 14, as cloud cover increases and rainfall becomes more widespread, with some areas expecting up to 25 mm of precipitation.

By Thursday, October 15, temperatures will drop below the seasonal norm, accompanied by stronger winds and further light rain, with additional dust arriving from the deserts of Libya. Meteorologists anticipate that this change will bring relief from the heat, though residents are advised to prepare for unsettled conditions throughout the mid-week period.
