There are heavy rains and thunderstorms in the mountains, particularly in the Amiandos and Karvounas area of the Troodos mountains.
Downpours have also been reported elsewhere in the hilly Limassol hinterland, leading water to collect on the road surface.
Police are warning drivers to be particularly careful, to drive slowly, keep a distance from vehicles ahead and to switch on their headlights.
Λόγω των βροχοπτώσεων σε αρκετές περιοχές, καλούνται οι οδηγοί να είναι ιδιαίτερα προσεκτικοί, να οδηγούν με χαμηλή ταχύτητα, να κρατούν αποστάσεις από τα προπορευόμενα οχήματα και να έχουν τα φώτα πορείας των οχημάτων τους αναμμένα. #cyprus pic.twitter.com/Qj8ZGz8zMO
