Troodos Road Access Restricted to 4x4 Vehicles Due to Snow and Fog

Due to adverse weather conditions, traffic in Troodos is restricted. Specifically, the road from Troodos Square to Mount Olympus is open only to four-wheel-drive vehicles due to snowfall and dense fog, which have made the roads slippery and dangerous. Drivers are urged to exercise extreme caution, reduce speed, maintain a safe distance, and have their vehicle lights on. The weather forecast predicts low pressure, a cold air mass, and strong winds. This afternoon, partly cloudy skies are expected with local showers or thunderstorms, mainly in the mountains, west, and north, while snowfall will continue in the higher mountains. Tonight, clouds will increase locally, but the weather will soon become mostly cloudy with possible rain, especially in the west, mountains, and north. There is a possibility of snow in the higher mountains and local frost. The temperature will drop significantly, reaching 7 degrees Celsius inland, 9 degrees Celsius on the coast, and below zero in the mountains. Finally, for tomorrow and the following days, intermittent cloudy conditions are forecast with local showers, possible thunderstorms, and snow in the mountains. The temperature will rise slightly but will remain relatively low in the mountains.
