# Weather patterns in Cyprus > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/weather-patterns-in-cyprus > Updated: 2026-10-25T06:10:32.000Z. Sources: 20. Developments: 6. The unstable weather patterns affecting Cyprus continued through mid-October. Following an initial yellow weather warning on October 3, unsettled conditions persisted with an unstable air mass bringing increased cloud cover and isolated rain or thunderstorms, particularly along the western and northern coasts. Through the first week of October, weather patterns showed a transition from clear skies to cloud development, with potential isolated rain or storms in mountainous and inland areas. Temperatures remained around 28°C in inland and coastal areas and 17°C in mountainous regions. By October 10, shifting pressure systems were forecast to cause further changes. An unstable air mass was expected to affect the region through Wednesday, bringing increased cloud cover, local rain, and isolated thunderstorms. As of October 12, a low-pressure system forming in the Adriatic Sea was moving southeast and was expected to impact Cyprus starting Wednesday afternoon. The Department of Meteorology indicated that while initial conditions involve partial cloudiness and isolated showers, weather conditions would deteriorate, bringing mostly cloudy skies and intermittent local rain through Friday. Temperatures were forecasted to gradually decrease through Thursday before a slight rise on Friday, with moderate to strong southwesterly winds reaching 4 to 5 Beaufort. By October 14, the situation escalated as the Cyprus Meteorological Service issued an orange weather warning due to a low-pressure system originating from Greece. This warning, effective from Wednesday afternoon until 05:00 on Thursday, anticipated intense rainfall of potentially “55 and 70 mm per hour,” accompanied by thunderstorms, hail, and strong wind gusts. Heavy rains in Paphos caused rivers to overflow, making the Peyia-Lara road impassable. The Department of Water Development identified 18 potential flood-risk zones, prompting the release of interactive hazard maps. By late October, weather patterns shifted again. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-25: Cyprus weather forecast: Rain and storms expected Cyprus is bracing for a weather shift as low pressure brings rain, thunderstorms, and a significant drop in temperatures, with potentially intense weather phenomena expected by Thursday. 9 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/cyprus-weather-forecast-predicts-rain-and-temperature-drop ### 2026-10-21: Cyprus weather forecast predicts dust and temperature changes Cyprus is expected to experience intermittent cloud cover, potential light rain, and thin dust as weak high pressure affects the region, with temperatures remaining near seasonal averages. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/cyprus-weather-forecast-predicts-dust-and-temperature-changes ### 2026-10-14: Cyprus issues orange weather warning for severe storms and flooding Cyprus is under an orange weather warning as a low-pressure system brings heavy rainfall and flood risks, particularly in Paphos, Limassol, and Larnaca, with 18 areas identified as high-risk for flooding. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/cyprus-civil-defence-issues-warnings-for-severe-weather ### 2026-10-12: Cyprus weather forecast: Rain and storms expected through Friday A low-pressure system will bring clouds, rain, and isolated thunderstorms to Cyprus from Wednesday through Friday, with temperatures expected to drop below seasonal averages. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/cyprus-weather-forecast-rain-and-storms-expected-through-friday ### 2026-10-06: Unstable weather forecast for Cyprus through Wednesday An unstable air mass will bring rain and isolated thunderstorms to Cyprus through Wednesday, with stronger winds expected along southern coasts. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/unstable-weather-forecast-for-cyprus-through-wednesday ### 2026-10-03: Cyprus issued yellow weather warning for heavy storms Cyprus has been placed under a yellow weather warning for heavy storms, hail, and strong winds, with rainfall potentially exceeding 35 mm per hour in certain areas. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/cyprus-weather-forecast-intense-storms-and-rain-expected --- Cite as: Weather patterns in Cyprus.
