Storms and: Weather Forecast Highlights
A low-pressure system moving across the eastern Mediterranean is expected to bring significant changes to the weather. The Troodos mountains, particularly at higher elevations, may experience snow or sleet as temperatures drop.
Sea Conditions and Temperature Expectations
Forecasters have cautioned that sea conditions will range from moderate to rough. South-westerly winds, reaching up to six Beaufort, are likely to contribute to this turbulence. Inland temperatures are projected to hit 19°C, while coastal areas may see a slightly warmer 20°C. However, those in high-altitude regions should prepare for a sharp decrease in temperatures, possibly dropping to around six degrees.
Weekend Outlook: From Turbulence to Calm
The turbulent weather is expected to persist through Friday night, with an ongoing risk of hail during thunderstorms. Fortunately, the Department of Meteorology predicts a gradual improvement starting on Saturday. Isolated showers are likely to give way to clearer skies as the weekend progresses.
Looking Ahead: Warmer Days to Come
As Sunday and Monday approach, the forecast indicates predominantly fine weather, coupled with a steady increase in temperatures. By the beginning of next week, these temperatures are expected to exceed the mid-February averages, offering a welcome change after the stormy conditions.
