Dusty skies and clear views: A mixed weather bag for Cyprus

Fine dust lingers in the air as mostly clear skies and mild temperatures dominate this week.

Newsroom

Good morning and happy Wednesday! Let’s talk weather—and heads up, there’s some fine dust in the air today, so take precautions if you're sensitive.

Today: After some light fog clears, expect mostly clear skies with a bit of local cloudiness here and there. Winds will start out light and variable but shift to a southwesterly to northwesterly breeze at 3 to 4 Beaufort by midday. The sea will be slightly rough, so maybe hold off on any ambitious boating plans. Temperatures will peak at around 20°C inland and along the coast, while the mountains will stay cooler at 12°C.

Tonight: The skies will remain mostly clear, though you might notice some low clouds in certain areas. Winds will blow northwest to northeast at 3 Beaufort, occasionally reaching 4 Beaufort along the west coast. The sea will still be slightly rough, and temperatures will drop to 9°C inland, 11°C on the coast, and a chilly 3°C in the higher mountains, where frost is expected.

Looking ahead:
- Thursday: Expect more clouds and possibly a few isolated showers.
- Friday and Saturday: Mostly clear skies return, though some localized cloudiness will persist.

Temperatures will dip slightly on Thursday but will remain above the seasonal average through Saturday.

And for winter lovers: the snow on the highest peaks of Troodos is currently sitting at 5 cm. A modest start, but enough to add a wintery charm to the mountains!

Stay safe, and don’t forget to mask up or limit outdoor activity if the dust starts to bother you. Have a great day!
