Low-pressure system Erminio to bring rain and dust to Cyprus

The Cyprus Meteorological Service has issued an alert regarding a low-pressure system named Erminio, which is currently moving east from the Central Mediterranean. While the system is labeled a weather bomb in parts of Greece and Italy, meteorologist Andreas Chrysanthou assured the public that its impact on Cyprus will be milder. Starting Wednesday afternoon through Thursday, the island expects widespread rain and isolated thunderstorms, accompanied by dust in the atmosphere. Wind speeds are forecasted to reach locally up to 6 Beaufort, and maritime activity should be approached with caution. Additionally, the service reported that March has been historically wet, recording almost double the expected rainfall. Temperatures are expected to rise until Thursday before slightly cooling on Friday. Conditions remain changeable as the system moves across the region.
