Unsettled weather and dust affect Cyprus

Cyprus is currently being influenced by a weak low-pressure system, with a more significant system, named Erminio, moving from the Central Mediterranean to impact the island from Wednesday. Weather conditions include increased cloud cover, scattered showers, and isolated thunderstorms, with potential for hail in some areas. Atmospheric dust levels are expected to be present starting Wednesday, potentially affecting air quality. Temperatures will generally remain slightly below seasonal averages, with highs fluctuating between 19°C and 21°C inland and on the coast, and as low as 2°C to 8°C in higher mountain regions. Frost is anticipated in the Troodos Mountains during the night hours. Winds are currently moderate to strong at Beaufort 4 to 5, occasionally reaching 6, while sea conditions vary from rough to slightly rough. Forecasts indicate an improvement in conditions by Thursday afternoon, followed by a trend of clearing skies by the weekend.
