Heavy Hailstorm in Limassol Amid Yellow Warning. Troodos Covered in Snow

Limassol experienced heavy hailstorms and thunderstorms as Cyprus remains under a Yellow Warning for extreme weather conditions. The bad weather also affected the Limassol-Paphos highway, with the Police warning of dangerous conditions. Meanwhile, Troodos has been covered in snow again. The Meteorological Service reports that increased rainfall conditions in the Eastern Mediterranean may improve soil moisture and hydrological conditions in Cyprus, but the hydrological situation remains demanding. The forecast for the next two weeks predicts rainfall above normal levels, with a possibility of local flooding. The Meteorological Department calls for the rational use of water, as reserves remain low.
