Municipal crews manage flooding in Nicosia following bad weather
On Saturday, May 23, 2026, 20 municipal work crews from the Nicosia District and surrounding municipalities, including Strovolos, Lakatamia, and Latsia-Geri, were mobilized to address drainage issues. The teams performed interventions at over 30 locations in areas such as Archangelos, Aglantzia, and Agios Dometios. Workers cleared drainage grates and removed debris, leaves, and waste that obstructed rainwater runoff. Meteorological reports indicate that a weak low-pressure system and unstable air masses are currently affecting the island. Localized rains and thunderstorms are expected, particularly in mountainous and inland regions. Temperatures are forecast to rise gradually through Wednesday, while isolated weather phenomena may persist until Thursday.
