Snow is on its way since a low-pressure system with the Aegean Sea as its center is moving eastwards and is expected to hit Cyprus by late Tuesday.
But only light snow is to fall on the peaks of Troodos mountains only as from midnight onwards, according to the island’s Meteorological Service.
In general, it will be mostly cloudy over the next couple of days with isolated showers and thunderstorms all across Cyprus.
The temperature will drop to around 10 to 12 degrees Centigrade inland, 15 to 16 degrees Centigrade in coastal areas and around 8 degrees in higher altitude villages and communities.
Specifically, from midnight on Tuesday and onwards showers and local thunderstorms are expected, with the phenomena starting from the west and progressively affecting the whole island.
Locally the phenomena are expected to be prolonged or even intense, while on the higher peaks of Troodos sleet or snow is expected to fall.
On Friday, periods of sunshine will alternate with periods of increased cloudiness while a gradual slight rise in temperature is forecasted.
