In December, the weather in Cyprus is not winter, but it is far from summer. What are its features?
- The sun pleases 5-6 hours a day. There can be eight sunny days in December.
- Precipitation is impossible to predict. The likelihood of frequent rains is high, since it is in the first winter month that the maximum amount of precipitation per year falls. Most of all "goes" to Paphos, in which 13 days can be rainy. At the same time, it is at this resort that the highest temperature level is recorded. During the day, it can reach + 19C, and sometimes + 22C. It gets colder at night up to + 10C.
- In Ayia Napa, precipitation marks only a third of the month. However, the weather is colder than in Paphos. Daytime temperatures can be around + 18C, at night + 9C.
- In coastal cities located in the west of Cyprus, the weather is not as comfortable as we would like. The daily temperature ranges from + 9-17C. There can be up to twelve wet days in December. Prepare for heavy rains.
- Nicosia no longer pleases tourists with warmth, because during the day it is + 16C, and at night + 7C.
