A spell of hot, mostly settled weather with high temperatures and limited rain is expected to continue across Cyprus, with isolated mountain showers possible later in the week, prompting holidaymakers to plan accordingly.
Cyprus is set for a spell of hot, mostly settled weather, with only a small chance of afternoon showers in the hills and interior over the next few days, according to the island’s meteorological forecast.
On Wednesday, conditions are expected to stay largely fine through the day, before cloud builds later, especially over mountainous areas where a brief shower cannot be ruled out. Inland temperatures are forecast to climb to about 39C, while coastal areas should be a little cooler, with the west and south-west around 32C and the rest of the coastline near 34C. Higher ground will be much milder at about 28C. Winds are expected to begin light and variable before turning mainly south-westerly to north-westerly, while the sea should remain calm to slightly rough.
For visitors, that means a very hot day for sightseeing, beach trips and driving between towns, but also one where midday sun will be intense. The UV index is expected to be high, and the combination of heat and occasional cloud may still leave the mountains vulnerable to isolated showers later in the day, so walkers and day-trippers should keep an eye on changing conditions.
Tonight should remain mostly clear, although coastal areas may see brief periods of low cloud. The forecast also points to a small chance of mist or shallow fog forming before dawn, particularly in the south-east, which could slightly affect early-morning drives.
Looking ahead to Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the weather across most of Cyprus is expected to stay mainly sunny with spells of extra cloud. After midday, cloud over the mountains and inland areas may bring isolated showers or thunderstorms, while nights and early mornings could see patchy mist and low cloud. Temperatures are expected to stay above the seasonal average on Thursday before easing slightly by Saturday, when they should return closer to normal for early September.
Weather Atlas’s longer-range outlook suggests the warmer, drier pattern may continue into the weekend, with sunshine and only scattered cloud likely for much of the island. For holidaymakers, the practical message is straightforward: Cyprus is still set for beach weather, but the hottest hours will be uncomfortable, and afternoon plans in the interior or hills may be best kept flexible.
