The Cyprus Meteorological Department forecasts worsening weather conditions from tomorrow, Saturday, with rain and a noticeable drop in temperature. The temperature is expected to fall by around 5 degrees Celsius by Monday. The change in weather is due to the influx of a colder air mass into the region. Phenomena are expected to begin in the mountains and west this afternoon, with isolated showers on Saturday that will become localized in the evening. Snowfall is expected in the higher mountains on Sunday, and a general weakening of the phenomena after noon. The average temperature for the season is around 16 degrees, and is expected to remain at these levels until the deterioration.
