Sun, warmth and good weather: this is what characterizes the climate in Cyprus throughout August and throughout the country. Indeed, whatever the destination in the center of the country - be it the East or the South, one will have beautiful sunny days. However, the heat - even though generally pleasant, can be uncomfortable for some activities especially in midday. For this reason, think about choosing activities wisely in order to fully enjoy the good weather.
August in the Center of Cyprus
With temperatures ranging between 28° C and 37° C, high heat dominates the lives of city dwellers in the center of the country. The climate in Cyprus throughout each region, however, has a slight difference due to the influence of the terrain. In Nicosia for example, the likelihood of having stormy evenings - especially during the first ten days of the month is high, while in Argos the forecast promises beautiful sunshine and a completely clear sky.
August on the East Coast of Cyprus
If choosing the east coast of the island, one will have the chance to enjoy beautiful sunny yet warm days. The heat is already felt early in the morning and with the temperatures continuing to climb over the hours, the heat may become inconvenient at midday. Think about reserving these hours for a quick nap or less challenging activities. Wait until the sun goes down to enjoy the relatively comfortable weather.
August in the South and Southwest of Cyprus
Due to their location and the influence of the wind coming from the Mediterranean, the coastal cities of the south of the island - like Paphos or Limassol, enjoy more mild climatic conditions compared to the rest of the island. The weather throughout August in Cyprus in these localities is pleasant, despite the high temperature. It almost never rains but the heat is tempered by the sea breeze, which promotes a feeling of comfort.
