Unstable weather conditions continue in Cyprus with rain and thunderstorms

Cyprus continues to be affected by low atmospheric pressure, resulting in unstable weather conditions characterized by cloudiness, intermittent local rain, and isolated thunderstorms. Meteorological authorities report that these conditions, which were particularly intense earlier in the week causing flooding and power outages in Paphos, Limassol, and Larnaca, are expected to persist through Saturday.

On Friday, temperatures across the island are peaking at approximately 26 degrees Celsius inland and on the coast, while mountain regions remain cooler at around 16 degrees. Winds are generally light to moderate, reaching up to 5 on the Beaufort scale in specific areas during the afternoon. Meteorological officer Michalis Mouskos confirmed that while unstable weather continues through the weekend, a significant improvement is expected from Sunday onwards as high pressure begins to influence the region.

Public authorities advise caution as intermittent showers and localized cloud formations are expected to continue, particularly in the mountains and inland areas. Following the weekend, more stable, sunny conditions are forecast until at least Wednesday, with temperatures remaining stable and slightly below the seasonal average until early next week.
