Cyprus hit again by bad weather: Storms, hail, and snow are coming

Date:

A weak low-pressure system is affecting the area, while a stronger low-pressure system and a relatively cold air mass are expected from tomorrow. Light dust will remain in the atmosphere until tomorrow, according to the Meteorological Department.

Detailed weather forecast:

A weak low-pressure system is currently affecting the region, while a more pronounced low-pressure system and relatively cold air mass are expected from tomorrow. Thin dust will be present in the atmosphere until tomorrow.

This afternoon, the weather will be partly cloudy to mostly cloudy at times, with medium and high clouds that may bring isolated showers. Winds will be mainly southwesterly to westerly, light to moderate, at 3 to 4 Beaufort, and locally up to strong, 4 to 5 Beaufort. The sea will be slightly rough.

Tonight, the weather will be mostly cloudy with local showers and possibly isolated thunderstorms, initially in the west and later in other areas. Winds will be variable, light and at times locally moderate, 3 to 4 Beaufort. The sea will be slightly rough. Temperatures will drop to around 11°C inland, about 13°C on the coast, and 7°C in the higher mountains.

Tomorrow, the weather will be mostly cloudy with local showers and isolated thunderstorms. Hail may fall during storms, while snow or sleet is expected on the highest peaks of the Troodos Mountains. Winds will initially be variable, light to moderate (3 to 4 Beaufort), gradually becoming southwesterly to westerly and strong (5 Beaufort), and at times on windward coasts very strong to near gale force (6 to 7 Beaufort). The sea will be rough. Temperatures will rise to around 20°C inland and on the coast, and about 12°C in the higher mountains.

On Monday, the weather will remain mostly cloudy with local showers and isolated thunderstorms. Snow or sleet is expected on the highest peaks of the Troodos Mountains.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, there will be periods of increased cloud cover, which around midday and early afternoon may bring isolated showers, mainly in mountainous areas.

Temperatures are expected to gradually rise slightly by Wednesday, though they will remain below average for the season.

ON THIS DAY: 3.4-billion-year-old fossils revealed (1977)

On 23 October 1977, palaeontologist Elso Barghoorn announced the discovery of fossilised single-celled organisms estimated to be 3.4 billion years old, offering remarkable evidence of life on the early Earth. The announcement highlighted the possibility that microscopic life had emerged relatively early in Earth's history, long before plants, animals or other complex organisms appeared. Barghoorn was known for his pioneering work in palaeobiology, particularly his research into ancient microorganisms and the origins of life. Why ancient microfossils matter Unlike the fossilised bones and shells commonly associated with prehistoric life, ancient microfossils can be extremely difficult to identify. Their structures are tiny, and geological processes over billions of years can alter or obscure their original appearance. Researchers study these specimens to understand when life first appeared, what early organisms may have looked like and the environments in which they survived. Evidence of such ancient life is also important to astrobiology, as scientists investigate whether similar conditions might have supported microorganisms elsewhere in the solar system. The continuing search for Earth's earliest life The interpretation of some of the world's oldest proposed microfossils remains a subject of scientific debate. Structures that resemble microorganisms can sometimes form through non-biological processes, making independent chemical and geological evidence essential. Nevertheless, Barghoorn's work helped establish the study of ancient microscopic life as a major field of scientific research. Nearly half a century after his 1977 announcement, the search for Earth's earliest organisms continues to reshape our understanding of how life began.
