Mostly sunny: Clear Skies and Gentle Winds
On Friday, the day will start off with mostly clear skies, complemented by light to moderate winds. These winds will initially vary in direction before settling predominantly to the southwesterly and northwesterly at speeds of 3 to 4 Beaufort. As the afternoon progresses, localised strengthening of winds along windward coastal areas may occur, potentially reaching up to 5 Beaufort. The sea conditions will remain slight, making it a pleasant day for coastal activities.
Temperature Trends for Friday
In terms of temperatures, inland areas are forecast to warm up to around 32°C, while coastal regions will see temperatures around 28°C. Specifically, the west coast will be slightly cooler at 26°C, and the higher mountains will experience a more refreshing 24°C.
Calm Nights Ahead
As the sun sets, the weather will continue to be predominantly clear. Winds will gradually shift to a northwesterly to northeasterly direction at about 3 Beaufort, and the sea will remain calm to slight. Overnight, temperatures are expected to drop to 15°C inland, around 17°C by the coast, and reach a cool 13°C in the higher mountainous areas.
Weekend Forecast: A Shift in Conditions
Looking ahead to the weekend, Saturday is set to bring a change in the weather. Increased cloud cover is predicted to develop in the afternoon, with the possibility of isolated showers or even a thunderstorm, particularly in the mountainous regions. This shift may come as a surprise after a predominantly sunny Friday.
Sunday’s Return to Sunshine
On Sunday, a return to mostly sunny conditions is anticipated, although isolated afternoon showers may still linger over the mountains. Temperatures are expected to rise, reaching levels slightly above the seasonal average, allowing residents and visitors to enjoy the outdoors.
Looking Beyond the Weekend
As Monday approaches, while mostly sunny weather will prevail, there remains a chance of an isolated afternoon shower over the mountains. This pattern indicates a dynamic weather situation for Cyprus, with fluctuations between sunny spells and the potential for rain.
