Climate: Cyprus enjoys a warm Mediterranean climate, with long dry summers from mid-May to mid-October and with mild rainy winters from December to February, which are separated by short autumn and spring seasons.
Summer is a season of high temperatures with cloudless skies, but the sea breeze creates a pleasant atmosphere in the coastal areas. Summer temperatures range from warm at higher elevations in the Troodos mountains to hot in the lowlands.
Winters are mild with some rain and snow on Troodos Mountains. Winter temperatures are mild at lower elevations, where snow rarely occurs, but are significantly colder in the Troodos mountains, where there is sufficient snow for a seasonal ski facility.
Annual rainfall do not exceed generally 500 milimeter; they diminish to 350 milimeter in the Mesaria, more protected to the marine influences, while on the southern reliefs 1,000 milimeter annually can be reached.
