Cyprus Weather

Cyprus has mostly a dry and warm climate all year round, but it does also see snow on the Troodos mountains from around January to March. There are also rainy days usually during the winter months, which can sometimes bring very heavy rainfall in a short time.

It can feel sweltering during July and August, sometimes with unbearably high humidity. Winter can feel cold at times, more-so at night between January to March.

There are also some regular windy and dusty days due to the Coptic storms of which there are 14 primary annual events, which range in severity and duration, but usually arrive within 48 hours of the predicted dates, and often bring rains with them, either before, during or after each Coptic storm.
