EXPLORING THE WEATHER & THE SEASONS IN CYPRUS
If there is one thing that never fails to impress, it is the glorious, all-year-round Cyprus weather. Offering glorious summers, a charming autumn, a very mild winter, and a colourful, vibrant spring, the island has one of the most favourable climates in the whole world. Cyprus offers something different throughout its charming seasons, making it a pretty awesome place to visit throughout the year. As a result, the island receives a constant flow of visitors all year round, with some simply wanting to take advantage of the favourable weather. The Mediterranean Sea also plays a role, and its constant blue hues and pleasant ambience enhance the island’s breathtaking scenery. With this in mind, it is true to say that a different facet of alluring weather is revealed throughout each season on the island.
SCORCHING HOT SUMMERS
The summer season, which lasts from June through to August, is when Cyprus is at its most vibrant. The island receives endless days of sunshine during this time, and temperatures usually reach their peak in coastal areas. The island receives typical temperatures of between 33 and 37 degrees Celsius at this time of year. As a result, the island’s stunning beaches entice both visitors and locals to enjoy the Mediterranean sea’s cool turquoise waters in the heat of the day. As the sun dips below the horizon, the nights remain comfortably warm. This creates a perfect opportunity to explore and experience the island’s vibrant nightlife.
MILD & PLEASANT AUTUMNS
As summer gracefully gives way to autumn, Cyprus takes on a new, enchanting aura. From September through to November, the temperatures begin to mellow, creating a more favourable, gentle atmosphere that’s ideal for most outdoor activities. The island, during the day, still receives sunshine, allowing it to retain both its charm and appeal. Day temperatures often linger between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius. Autumn also brings a hint of rain and offers a time to enjoy the local culture without the summer’s intense heat. This season’s transition is enhanced as the landscape begins to transform, and it is also an ideal time to take advantage of the explosion of warm rustic hues. With this in mind, visitors often choose this time of the year to explore the countryside, navigating the numerous nature trails that exist across the island.
MILD WINTERS
Cyprus winters, spanning from December through to February, are remarkably mild compared to other parts of Europe. With the island constantly receiving sunshine throughout the day, temperatures average between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius. The Mediterranean Sea continues to exert its moderating influence, keeping the climate pleasant and comfortable. The occasional rain contributes to the lush greenery, helping to turn the rustic reds and browns of Autumn to the green of winter across the island. All of this helps to create a calming backdrop for several winter getaways. It is also worth mentioning that the mountainous areas on the island often receive a significant snowfall, giving way to WINTER SKIING.
A BLOOMING SPRING
As winter gives way to spring, the countryside transforms into a floral wonderland. Regeneration and new life complement the sunny days everywhere. As the weather begins to warm up again from March through to May, temperatures typically reach between 23 to 28 degrees Celsius. Wildflowers, as well as blossoming trees, cover several open spaces, helping to turn the countryside into a rainbow of colour. Spring is also a perfect time to go hiking, have a picnic, or simply take in the vibrant beauty of this Mediterranean paradise.
