Mild, wet-ish winters around 17 °C by day; July and August reach 32–35 °C with sticky humidity. Sea is warm enough to swim from May to November.
- West coast · Paphos, Coral Bay, Akamas, Polisbest weather
A touch cooler and windier than the east in summer; the Akamas tracks are dusty and shadeless from June to September.
- Central plain · Nicosia, the Mesaoriahot
The hottest part of the island: 38–40 °C in July and August, with heatwaves above 44 °C recorded. Winter nights near freezing.
- Troodos mountains · Platres, Kakopetria, Mount Olymposbest weather
The summer escape, 8–10 °C cooler than the plain. Snow on Olympos (1,952 m) in January–February, with a small ski area — check snow before driving up.
