Low temperatures, rain and snow expected on Monday

Date:

Low temperatures, sporadic rainfall and the possibility of snowfall over mountainous areas will continue on Monday, mainly during the afternoon, according to the Department of Meteorology.

The weather on Sunday was partly cloudy and some snowfall occurred on the highest mountainous areas. According to measurements around noon on Sunday, the height of snow in Troodos Square was 13 cm.

The main roads leading to Troodos closed around Sunday noon, according to a police press release, both due to the snowfall and the traffic caused by Sunday visitors.

The weather on Monday morning is expected to be mostly sunny, but it will gradually turn cloudy in the afternoon, when localised rain and snow in the highest mountainous areas may occur.

The highest temperature in the interior and the northern coast will be around 15 degrees. The temperature in the rest of the coastal areas will be around 16 degrees and the temperature in the highest mountainous areas will be around 3 degrees.

Sporadic rainfall and/or storms are expected on Tuesday. Snowfall is expected in the highest mountainous areas. Similar weather with similar temperatures is expected until Thursday.

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.
