 Filenews 21 May 2022 - by Despina Psilou



Transient interruption from the sunshine and the heat, bring phenomena that will occur from tomorrow noon. As the director of the Department of Meteorology told "F", rains, storms and a small drop in temperature are coming.

With clear weather, today will roll, while moderate to strong winds will blow in the area. The temperature will fluctuate in the normal values for the season.

However, tomorrow a noticeable change in the weather is expected as the phenomena that hit Greece will reach Cyprus weakened as well. "A low-pressure system will affect us. The weather will be partly cloudy, with rain and local thunderstorms expected after noon. Such phenomena are expected during May, as this is a transitional month from winter to summer." However, Mr. Nikolaidis found, May recorded significantly less rain. "It's at 10% to 15% of normal levels."

The temperature tomorrow will drop slightly, falling one to two degrees below normal levels. However, Monday and Tuesday the weather will be clear again, and clouds may be observed intermittently. "The temperature will return to normal levels for the season and no noticeable change is expected until at least halfway through the week." Gradually, stressed Mr. Nikolaidis, the systems are being moderated as summer approaches.
