This is a climate guideline, not a forecast. The TRNC Meteorological Service uses climate normals for 1991–2020: overall, the rainiest months are December and January, while the driest are July and August.
How to plan your day
- Check the forecast and warnings on the day of your trip: local wind and rainfall can differ even on neighbouring coasts.
- For walks, choose layered clothing: the perceived temperature can differ noticeably in the sun and in the shade.
- At the beach, assess the sea conditions and flags, not just the air temperature.
The coast and inland areas
Lefkoşa and the Mesarya Plain are usually hotter than the coast in summer. In Kyrenia, Famagusta and İskele, the sea breeze can change the perceived temperature; it is cooler in the mountains. For routes between areas, use the forecast for the specific location as your guide.

Frequently asked questions
Can climate normals be used for a specific date?
No. Normals show the long-term pattern, while a specific date requires the current forecast from the TRNC Meteorological Service.
Where is it cooler in summer?
On the coast, the wind often softens the feeling of heat, while temperatures in mountainous areas are lower than in inland areas.
Is it safe to swim?
Assess the sea conditions, wind and local warnings. A comfortable water temperature does not rule out waves or currents.
Is sun protection necessary?
Yes. During sunny months, wear a hat, carry water and protect your skin, especially around midday.
