If you woke up today humming “Singin’ in the Rain” and twirling an imaginary umbrella, we don’t blame you. After weeks of sunburn and sweat, the idea of actual rain, however isolated or imaginary, has us all feeling a little Gene Kelly.
This morning kicks off with some low clouds playing peekaboo, mostly just loitering until the sun gets serious. But by afternoon, things heat up, literally and atmospherically. Clouds are expected to gather their courage and try again, particularly over the mountains, and there’s even talk of an isolated shower or...dare we say it?...a thunderstorm. We’re not crying. It’s just... hope in our eyes.
Winds will start all polite from the southeast but will change their minds mid-day, shifting southwest to northwest at a respectable 3 to 4 Beaufort. Down south, they might show off a bit more, hitting up to 5 Beaufort. As for the sea? It’s still doing its slightly rough thing, just enough to make you spill your iced coffee if you’re boating fancy.
Temperatures are dialed back a smidge (bless): 36°C inland, a bearable 32°C on the coast, and a relatively reasonable 29°C in the higher mountains. That’s practically jacket weather by July standards.
Tonight, expect mostly clear skies with some low clouds sneaking back in, along with potential light fog or mist near the coast, just enough to make you question whether you left the hose on. Winds calm down to 3 Beaufort, and the sea follows suit, turning calm to slightly rough. Overnight temps drop to 24°C inland and on the coast, and a cool 20°C up in the mountains...go ahead, open a window and pretend it's autumn.
And coming up...
Thursday and Friday keep us on our toes: clear mornings followed by dramatic afternoons. Expect isolated rain and maybe even a summer storm, with hail in the mix, just for flair. Most of the action sticks to inland and mountain areas, so if you’re coastal, feel free to keep pretending it’s perfect.
Saturday looks like a return to calm-ish conditions, with passing clouds doing little more than posing for scenic photos. Temperatures? Creeping up again, naturally, because Cyprus weather doesn't know how to leave well enough alone.
