Cyprus weather forecast: high temperatures and dust concentration

Cyprus is currently under the influence of weak high pressure, bringing generally clear weather with periodic high cloud cover and Saharan dust in the atmosphere. Daytime temperatures across the island are fluctuating between 26°C and 31°C, remaining slightly above seasonal averages, while mountainous regions like Troodos experience significantly cooler conditions, with temperatures ranging from 16°C to 21°C. Winds are generally light to moderate, blowing at 3 to 4 Beaufort, with the sea remaining mostly calm to slightly rough.

Looking ahead to the weekend and early next week, the weather is expected to remain mostly clear, though some local cloudiness will persist. Temperatures will begin a gradual decline starting Monday, with the Meteorological Service forecasting a transition toward more seasonal levels. By Tuesday, authorities anticipate a shift in conditions as low pressure begins to influence the region, potentially bringing local rain. Residents are advised to monitor the atmosphere for changing dust concentrations, which may increase over the weekend, and to remain aware of elevated fire risks in forested areas.
