Cyprus, the Mediterranean island south of Turkey, enjoys a classic subtropical climate with long, dry summers and mild, wet winters. The live forecast above shows current conditions for the capital, Nicosia, which sits inland, but coastal cities like Limassol and Larnaca can be noticeably cooler due to sea breezes.

What is the weather in Cyprus right now, and what should I expect?

As the live forecast above indicates, Cyprus is typically sunny for much of the year. Summers from June to September are hot and cloudless, with inland temperatures frequently exceeding 35°C, while the coast stays a few degrees cooler thanks to the Mediterranean. Winters from December to February are the wettest period, though daytime highs in coastal areas like Protaras or Larnaca still hover around 16–18°C, making it a popular winter escape for Australians.

How does the weather vary across the island?

The Troodos Mountains in the centre create a stark contrast. While the coast sees mild winters, the mountains receive regular snowfall, offering skiing opportunities from January to March.
