Published February 13, 2026, 14:32

Heavy rainfall occurring around 2:15 pm today, Friday [02/13] across Cyprus, is affecting traffic, as it makes the road surface slippery and visibility limited. The traffic is particularly affected on the Larnaca-Kofinou highway, the Larnaca-Nicosia highway, and the Limassol-Paphos highway, where there is a flow and accumulation of water in various places, and visibility for passing drivers is dangerously limited. The Police advise extreme caution to drivers, who are asked to drive their vehicles at a safe, low speed, maintain a safe distance from vehicles ahead, and have their vehicle's headlights on.
