Unsettled weather and temperature drop expected across Cyprus
Cyprus is currently experiencing a period of unsettled weather due to a weak low-pressure system affecting the region. On November 4th and 5th, 2026, the island faced partly cloudy skies with localized showers and isolated thunderstorms. Coastal areas reached temperatures of around 24°C to 26°C, while mountainous regions saw lower readings, dropping to approximately 7°C to 8°C at night.
According to Andreas Chrysanthou, spokesperson for the Meteorological Service, the weather is expected to deteriorate further on Friday, November 6th. Authorities predict more intense and widespread phenomena, including local rain, isolated thunderstorms, and the possibility of hail, particularly in the eastern half of the island, the mountains, and inland areas. Wind speeds are expected to range from 3 to 5 Beaufort, with seas remaining slightly rough.
The Meteorological Service has announced a gradual cooling trend that will continue through Sunday, November 8th. Temperatures are expected to fall by several degrees, eventually dropping below the average climatic values for this time of year. Residents are advised to monitor weather updates as more significant rainfall and potential storms are anticipated toward the end of the week.
