**Clear Skies in the Morning, Thunderstorms and Hail Expected Later**
Cyprus experienced a varied weather pattern on Monday, beginning with low clouds and fine mist that gradually transitioned into clear skies. However, as the day progressed, the weather is expected to shift dramatically with the formation of clouds in the early afternoon.
Meteorological forecasts indicate that these clouds will bring isolated showers and the possibility of thunderstorms, particularly in inland areas and the mountainous regions. The potential for hail has also been highlighted, raising concerns for residents and travelers alike.
Winds throughout the day are anticipated to shift from a gentle to moderate breeze, blowing from the southwest to northwest at speeds of 3 to 4 Beaufort. As conditions change, a moderate to fresh breeze of 4 to 5 Beaufort is expected to develop over moderate seas, adding to the dynamic weather conditions.
Temperature readings for Monday are projected to reach up to 34°C inland, while coastal areas will see a slightly cooler 30°C. In the highest mountain ranges, temperatures are expected to be around 24°C. As night falls, the weather will settle into a mainly clear state with some low clouds and fine mist forming towards dawn. Overnight temperatures are forecasted to drop to 19°C both inland and along the coast, with the highest mountains cooling down to around 14°C.
Looking ahead, the weather for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday is set to be generally clear, with temperatures remaining above the seasonal average. This pattern may provide a brief respite from the storms expected on Monday, allowing residents to enjoy clearer skies in the coming days.
As always, residents are advised to stay informed about changing weather conditions and take necessary precautions, especially with the potential for severe weather later in the day.
