The climate of Nicosia (Cyprus)
Nicosia is the capital of Cyprus centrally located on the island on
the banks of the Pedieos River. Nicosia is situated both in the
Turkish and the Greek part of the country, making it one of the few
divided capitals in the world. Because of this there is a UN buffer
zone dividing the northern and southern parts of the city also known
as the Green Line. Nicosia is also the largest city on the island. The
New GSP Stadium can be found in Nicosia. This is the only stadium in
Cyprus that meets UEFA regulations and is the home base for several
clubs. Summers in Nicosia are hot and dry. Winters here are colder and
wetter than in the coastal regions. In July and August temperatures
above 35 degrees Celsius are not uncommon. During the summer
precipitation figures are extremely low, rain almost only falls during
the winter.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
