After a few days of sunshine, the winter scene returned to Cyprus. Since the morning there has been rain in various areas, while it has been snowing in Troodos for a while.
According to Kitasweather, snowfall is observed in the Troodos ski resort but without snow for the time being, as the snow on the ground is what was left over from the December snowfall.
As mentioned, if snow cover is observed, it will be light from the specific clouds that are currently affecting the Troodos area. At Hotel Jubilee, so far, rain alternates with sleet.
