Cyprus issues yellow weather warning for Erminio storm

The Cyprus Department of Meteorology has issued a yellow warning for heavy rainfall and isolated thunderstorms, effective from Wednesday, April 1, at 18:00 until Thursday, April 2, at 11:00. The weather system, named Erminio and currently centered over Sicily, is moving eastwards and is expected to bring dust, increased wind speeds reaching up to 6 Beaufort in coastal areas, and precipitation that may locally exceed 50 millimeters within a six-hour period. While some online sources have labeled the system a 'meteorological bomb,' local officials clarified that the impact on Cyprus will be milder than in Greece or Italy. The weather is expected to deteriorate gradually, beginning in the west and spreading across the island. The meteorological representative Andreas Chrysanthou noted that March was exceptionally rainy, and unstable conditions might persist into the coming week. Temperatures are forecast to range between 15 and 21 degrees Celsius depending on the region during the transition.
