Rain, storms and possible hail to persist across Cyprus until Monday
Unsettled conditions are forecast to linger over the island through the start of next week, with showers, isolated thunderstorms and cooler than usual temperatures.
Cyprus is in for several days of unsettled conditions, as reported by Cyprus Mail, with scattered showers already falling in western areas on Friday morning. Cloud build-up during the afternoon is expected to trigger rain and isolated thunderstorms, and hail cannot be ruled out.
Friday's winds will blow from the south and west at 3 to 4 Beaufort over moderate seas. Daytime highs will climb to 28C inland and on the south and east coasts, 26C elsewhere along the coast and 17C in the highest mountain areas.
Overnight into Saturday the sky will stay partly cloudy with a few showers, most likely near the coast. Temperatures will hover a little under the seasonal average until Monday.
What it means for residents
The next few days call for a bit of planning, especially if your routine involves driving, outdoor work or time near the sea.
- On the roads Wet surfaces and reduced visibility during storms mean longer journeys, so build extra time into commutes and drive carefully on mountain routes.
- At home Secure loose items on balconies and check that drains and gutters are clear before heavy downpours arrive.
- Outdoors If you have plans by the coast or in the mountains, keep an eye on the forecast and be ready to move them, as thunderstorms can develop quickly in the afternoon.
