Unexpected Rainstorms Sweep Through Nicosia
In a surprising turn of events, rainstorms swept through Nicosia on Wednesday afternoon, catching residents and visitors off guard. The sudden downpour primarily affected the Engomi and Ayios Dometios areas of the capital, as avid weather enthusiasts shared their experiences and images on the social media platform ‘Kairofiloi Kiprou’. The posts depicted the intensity of the rainfall and the immediate effects on the urban landscape.
The local meteorological office provided a silver lining to the storm clouds, forecasting that the weather would take a turn for the better by evening. They predicted a significant drop in temperatures across various regions following the storm’s passage. Inland areas and coastal regions are expected to experience a cool down to 17 degrees Celsius, while mountainous zones will see the mercury dip even lower to a brisk 10 degrees.
Looking ahead, Thursday promises a respite from the inclement weather with mostly clear skies anticipated. The temperature is set to climb once again, reaching a comfortable 31 degrees inland, 27 degrees along the coast, and a pleasant 20 degrees in the mountainous regions. However, those planning for the upcoming Good Friday and Easter weekend should be prepared for a slight decrease in temperatures, as indicated by the met office’s latest updates.
Residents and visitors in Nicosia can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that the unexpected rainstorms were but a brief interlude in what is forecasted to be a predominantly sunny and warm lead-up to the Easter celebrations.
