Weather conditions across Cyprus from October 14 to 18, 2026

Between October 14 and 18, 2026, Cyprus experienced a period of unstable weather characterized by low atmospheric pressure that brought localized rain, thunderstorms, and hail, particularly affecting the western half of the island and mountain regions. Temperatures during this unstable phase dropped, reaching around 23-26°C in inland areas and coastal regions, while mountain temperatures dipped to as low as 8°C. Wind speeds frequently fluctuated between 3 to 4 Beaufort, with occasional gusts reaching up to 6 or 7 Beaufort during storms, leading to choppy sea conditions.

From Sunday, October 18, the weather began to transition as a weak high-pressure system moved into the region. This led to more stable, sunny conditions with only passing cloud cover. Temperatures were expected to remain slightly below the seasonal average, with inland and coastal highs around 26°C and mountain temperatures dropping to approximately 5-6°C at night. Local authorities reported a high risk of forest fires during the drier, clearer periods at the end of the week. No further severe weather warnings were issued for the following week, with forecasts indicating a general continuation of fair, autumn weather through Wednesday.
