Cyprus is expected to see a shift in weather conditions this week, with elevated dust levels and a noticeable drop in temperatures.

According to the Meteorological Department, thin dust will remain suspended in the atmosphere until Thursday, due to a weak low-pressure system. Dust concentrations may fluctuate throughout the day and could particularly affect sensitive individuals.

Today’s weather will be partly cloudy at times, mainly with mid- and high-level clouds. Winds will initially blow from the northwest to northeast at light to moderate strength (3 to 4 Beaufort), turning southwest to northwest by the afternoon, reaching up to 5 Beaufort along southern coasts. The sea will be slightly rough.
