Cyprus weather forecast: shift toward cooler conditions with upcoming rain

Cyprus is currently under the influence of a weak low-pressure system, which is bringing mild temperatures of up to 26°C inland and along the coast, with cooler conditions in the mountains. Meteorological officials report that while current weather remains mostly fair, a shift toward a more autumnal pattern is expected starting Tuesday.

From Tuesday onwards, locally increased cloud cover is forecast, with isolated showers and potential thunderstorms developing, particularly in mountainous areas, the north, and inland regions. This wet weather is expected to persist intermittently through Thursday, with some sources extending the possibility of unsettled conditions into the weekend.

Accompanying the rain, a gradual drop in temperature of approximately 2 to 3 degrees Celsius is anticipated by the middle of the week, eventually falling slightly below seasonal averages. Andreas Chrysanthou, spokesperson for the Department of Meteorology, has clarified that these weather changes will not be severe and are not currently expected to trigger official weather warnings, distancing the local outlook from the more intense weather systems affecting Greece.
