The Weather
The weather in Cyprus can vary drastically depending on the season, so it is important to pack clothes accordingly.
​
In the summer, Cyprus is very hot and dry, with temperatures exceeding 40 º C during the peak. In July and August the temperature climbs over 45 º C, nights are 20 to 24 ºC.
Those who cannot endure the heat should visit in the optimal-temperature months of September and October.
​
In the winter the temperature is very low so it is advised to bring a warm coat, thermal vests and extra socks. The coldest months are January and February with an average maximum temperature of 15-16 º C. Temperatures under 0ºC is a rarity, although it is possible.
Spring and Autumn are the most optimal for visiting as the weather is neither hot or cold. This is March to May, and September to November.
