The
Weather in Cyprus - Temperatures
Although these temperatures will
give you a fairly accurate idea of what the weather
in Cyprus is like through the year, it should be
noted that variations do exist across the island
with the central plains being substantially hotter
during summer and much colder in winter than the
coastal regions. |
Average
Number of Rainy Days
Annual rainfall ranges from 350 to 400 mm in the central plains
to 1200 mm at the peaks of the Troodos Massif, where
rain is a much more common occurrence than at lower
altitudes.
The average annual
rainfall for the island as a whole is about 500 mm. |
The weather in Cyprus throughout the year
Cyprus may only be the third largest island
in the Mediterranean, but it is certainly the hottest and
sunniest. With an average 326 sunshine days each year for
the island as a whole, this truly is a paradise for everyone
seeking that 'SUN LOVING LIFE-STYLE'.
The year starts about half-way through what can be called the rainy
season, which lasts from November until early March. Winters
in Cyprus are short and mild with snow being a virtually
unknown phenomenon in the coastal regions.
Spring starts early, with temperatures beginning to rise noticably
towards the end of February.
At this stage, the weather in Cyprus leaves behind the winter's
rains and sunshine becomes an almost permanent feature on
this beautiful island.
The beginning of May usually sees a couple of weeks of windy
weather with fresh spring breezes blowing in from the sea.
By the end of May, average temperatures begin to climb towards the
more summery levels until they reach their apex during July
and August.
The summery temperatures tend to last until well into
September and rain is
almost unheard of during the summer months.
Although most locals consider the 20th of September to be the date
when the hot summer temperatures first begin to break, the
weather in Cyprus stays pleasantly warm until much later
than this. Even as late as the end of October, it is still
possible to sit outside during the evenings without the
need for a jacket or even a jumper.
The dividing line between autumn and winter is somewhere around the
middle of November, when temperatures begin to drop noticably
and the rainy season sets in again, announcing the coming
of winter.
