Cyprus weather forecast: Gradual temperature rise after cold snap

Cyprus is transitioning out of a period of notably low temperatures as a cold air mass affecting the island begins to retreat. Following the coldest night of the autumn, with temperatures dropping to near-freezing levels, including sub-zero readings on Olympus, the region is now under the influence of weak high pressure. Meteorologists report that temperatures, which fell to 4-5 degrees Celsius in Nicosia and 1-2 degrees in the mountains earlier this week, will now follow a steady upward trend.

Today, the weather remains partly cloudy with daytime highs reaching 21 degrees Celsius in the interior and 22 degrees on the coasts. Scattered rainfall is expected tonight in northern and western regions, with isolated showers continuing into Wednesday and Thursday, primarily in the mountains and inland areas. As the week progresses, temperatures are expected to climb further, potentially reaching 25 degrees Celsius, moving slightly above the seasonal average. Authorities advise residents to monitor local updates as the weather pattern shifts to a milder state with localized and transient cloudiness.
