Welcome to another part of the seasonal updates for those who wonder what it’s like to spend winter in Cyprus<\/a> and what’s the weather like in December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n December can be probably characterized as a very moody month with quick weather changes and often quite extreme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It started with a gloriously sunny weekend followed by very stormy weather and a few rainy days in a week. And by storm, I mean those nasty ones that make your house shake. We had quite a bit of torrential rain with flooded streets and lots of mess from the strong winds. At least here in Paphos<\/a>, on a few days, it looked like the end of the world is near.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The weather<\/a> was so crazy that within one day, it could change completely in a matter of hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n On my trip to Oleastro<\/a>, we arrived when it was nice and sunny, over the course of our stay, stormy clouds approached from the mountains and the whole place changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For those who are looking to visit Cyprus in December, if you space your holiday out in more than a week, it will give you a decent chance to experience both the good and bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cyprus weather<\/a> in December can be very different depending on the year. Last year we had an extremely short winter, with November and December being still very warm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Last year on Christmas Day, it was around 25C and we were sitting outside in t-shirts. We still had beach picnics and enjoyed the outdoors as much as we could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This year the temperatures did not soar that high, but in between the rainy days, it’s still very pleasant, considering that the rest of Europe is freezing up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n rainy days<\/strong>: plenty<\/p>\n\n\n\n temperature<\/strong>: on average 20C – 22C, depending on where in Cyprus you are<\/p>\n\n\n\n night temperature<\/strong>: 10C – 14C (no heating in most Cyprus homes, yay!!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n To check the updates from previous months, please see this link<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nCyprus Weather in December Update<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
