Cold weather arrives in Cyprus with temperatures dropping below seasonal norms

A significant drop in temperature has affected Cyprus, with cold air masses causing conditions to fall 2–8 degrees Celsius below the seasonal average. As of November 8 and continuing through November 9, 2026, daytime highs are expected to reach approximately +20–22°C on the coast and +18–21°C in inland regions, while mountain peaks face much colder conditions, with overnight temperatures in the Troodos mountains expected to approach freezing and drop to -2°C at Mount Olympus by Tuesday.

The weather shift has brought strong winds on the eastern coast, reaching up to 6 on the Beaufort scale initially, with meteorologist Tasos Ierodiakonou noting that winds will likely ease to 3–4 on the Beaufort scale by Monday. Humidity levels will fluctuate between 30% and 70% throughout the day, and brief localized rains remain a possibility. While the cold spell persists through Monday, a gradual warming trend is anticipated starting Tuesday, November 10, though temperatures are expected to remain slightly below the seasonal norm for the rest of the week, with inland highs reaching +25°C by Friday.
