Cyprus weather: Forecast of Rain and Hail

Expected Weather Changes Throughout the Day
Initially, residents may notice increased low cloud cover, particularly in the western parts of the island, accompanied by patches of light fog. However, this is expected to clear as the day progresses, leading to mostly clear skies in many areas, with some temporary cloud cover.
Winds and Temperature Variations
Winds are expected to blow predominantly from the south-west to north-west, ranging from light to moderate at force 3 to 4 on the Beaufort scale. As the afternoon approaches, coastal winds may strengthen to moderate or even strong, reaching force 4 to 5 Beaufort. Temperatures are set to rise to about 33°C inland, 27°C on the western coast, and around 30°C on other coastal areas, while the highest mountains will see temperatures around 24°C.
Evening Outlook

Light fog or mist is anticipated to form in the early hours, particularly in eastern and inland regions. Winds will continue to be predominantly south-westerly to north-westerly, generally light, and may become variable later on. Sea conditions will remain mostly slight and calm, especially in the southern and eastern waters, while temperatures are expected to drop to around 20°C inland and on the coast, with mountain areas cooling to approximately 14°C.
