Cyprus Seasons

Cyprus has the benefit of plentiful sunshine throughout the year. Extreme temperatures are rare, meaning Cyprus has something to offer every month of the year, whether it's swimming (as late as November) or enjoying cultural sites and festivals (all year long). While seasonal fluctuations are not drastic, however, they are different. Here's what to expect:

Summer months

Summer in Cyprus is approximately May through to October and can have high temperature throughout this time. It's the perfect season for swimming, sunbathing and a whole range of watersports.

Between September and October Cyprus still has sunny days and the water is warm enough for you to still go swimming . Basically, it's still summer.

Autumn months

From mid October evenings do tend to get cooler, however. In October and through November the leaves change color in the Troodos and vineyards take on gold and crimson. In Cyprus mid-November can feel like summer and it can  still be possible to enjoy a swim. 
 

Winter months

December and January are the months winter and could bringing the possibility of rain, but still being able to have sunshine for up to six hours day. Paphos stays open to holidaymakers all year round. 
 

Spring months

This is the time that you will see the first flowers begining to bloom in January in Cyprus, and by February the almond trees are also in bloom. March  can be quite cool.  Spring is a loveley time to visit to Cyprus, with pleasant daytime temperatures and many of the ancient ruins framed by a carpet of red anemones and other wildflowers.
