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.

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.
