Snow in Cyprus

Mike — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 18:16:00 +0000

This morning, I saw snow for the first time in Cyprus. It’s our third winter in Cyprus, so I’m guessing this is unusual.

The picture was taken from Polemi and shows what’s called Paphos Forest – the foothills of the Troodos Mountains. The snow covered ridge is above the village of Panagia and rises to [...]

Springtime in Cyprus

Mike — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 16:56:43 +0000

Spring in Cyprus is just the best. The winter’s rains bring the countryside to life. February and March are months of verdant colours to savour.

One of the most notable features of Cyprus’ landscape in February and early March are the trees in blossom. The island is covered in them – their delicate white and [...]

Cyprus weather in October

Cyprus in October is very pleasant. Most of the time it's still sunny and warm, though being autumn you can expect some showers about. Beware – when it decides to rain in Cyprus – it really rains!

Average daytime temperatures are a very mild 27 degrees C, and night time [...]

Cyprus in September

After the hottest months of July and August, September sees slightly more comfortable weather.

Being the month of the Autumn equinox, it also tends to be a bit more breezy than the high summer months.

You might even see a brief shower of rain!

Expect to see average daytime temperatures of 29 degrees Celsius and [...]

Cyprus in August

High summer in Cyprus! Both July and August are the hottest months of the year with wall-to-wall sunshine pretty much guaranteed.

These are months in which to plan anything strenuous either early in the morning or in the evenings. During the middle of the day you need to be in the shade or taking it [...]

Cyprus in July

admin — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 19:59:33 +0000

July is probably the hottest month of the year in Cyprus. Wall-to-wall sunshine is pretty much a certainty – though sometimes the high humidity does lead to mist on the coasts or cloud over the mountains.

This is a month to take it easy. Anything involving physical effort is very difficult – after 8am the temperature [...]

Cyprus in June

admin — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 07:35:52 +0000

High summer in Cyprus is now with us! It’s hot, it’s sunny and Cyprus is a great place to be.

The countryside has turned golden – and with that comes a big fire risk. Only last week I saw a huge fire raging out of control at Secret Valley near Paphos Airport – read [...]

Cyprus in May

admin — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 10:39:46 +0000

May is a great month to visit Cyprus. Spring is well and truly turning into Summer, the skies are blue pretty much every day, it’s very warm without being oppressively hot, the evenings are pleasant making outdoor eating normal rather than the exception.

The countryside continues it’s subtle changes too. Yes there’s still plenty of [...]

Cyprus in April

April in Cyprus is delightful. It’s pleasantly warm, it’s Easter and the tourists are now returning in force. All this adds up to Cyprus being a really good place to be in April.

Easter is big in Cyprus. Almost bigger than Christmas. Everywhere there’s giant Easter eggs by the side of the road – all [...]

Cyprus in March

There’s an old saying, ‘March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb’. Very true in Cyprus!

In 2009, March has been a very wet month. Water shortage? Maybe not now!

Our local dam – the Mavrokolympos Dam in Pegeia – actually overflowed at the end of the month.

The authorities are [...]
