Cyprus Braces for Cold Spell - Temperature Drop and Snow in Mountains

Cyprus is under the influence of a cold air mass, resulting in a temperature drop and localized rain. Snow or sleet is expected in the mountains, with local frost formation. The temperature will range around 8 degrees Celsius inland, 10 degrees Celsius on the coast, and 1 degree Celsius in the higher mountains. The weather will remain mostly cloudy, with the possibility of short showers after noon. Similar weather is expected over the weekend, with localized rain and snow in the mountains. The snow height at Troodos Ski Resort (Chionistra) is currently 26 centimeters.
