What is the weather like in Cyprus month by month?

Summers (June–September) are hot and dry, often exceeding 30°C inland, with sea temperatures peaking around 27°C. Winters (December–February) are mild and wetter, averaging 15–18°C on the coast. Spring and autumn offer pleasant warmth around 22–26°C, ideal for exploring without the peak-season crowds. For a detailed breakdown, see our Cyprus weather by month guide.

What should I pack for Cyprus?

For summer, pack light cotton clothing, a hat, sunglasses, and high-factor sunscreen. Winters call for a light jacket or jumper for cooler evenings. A reusable water bottle and comfortable walking shoes are useful year-round. If travelling during UK school holidays, book early as prices rise sharply.
