Unstable weather conditions affecting Cyprus with rain and storms

Cyprus is currently under the influence of a low-pressure system, causing unstable weather conditions across the island. On October 15, residents experienced scattered rain and isolated thunderstorms, particularly in the western and northern coastal areas during the early hours. While conditions showed temporary improvement during the day, afternoon precipitation was recorded in Nicosia, the Troodos mountains, and Famagusta. Temperatures remained slightly below seasonal averages, ranging between 21°C and 26°C in lowland areas and coastal regions, while dropping as low as 11°C in the higher mountain peaks.

Wind speeds are generally light to moderate, between 3 to 4 Beaufort, though coastal areas facing the wind may see gusts up to 6 Beaufort during the afternoon. Sea conditions vary from slight to rough. Weather patterns are expected to persist, with a partial clearing predicted for Thursday evening. Looking ahead, Friday will remain partly cloudy with a chance of localized rain or thunderstorms, especially in inland and mountainous regions during the afternoon hours.
