This is a climate guideline, not a forecast. The TRNC Meteorological Service uses the 1991–2020 averages: overall, the wettest 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 precipitation may differ even on neighbouring coasts.
- For walks, choose layered clothing: the perceived temperature differs noticeably in the sun and in the shade.
- At the beach, assess sea conditions and flags, not just the air temperature.
The coast and inland areas
Nicosia and the Mesaoria 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, refer to the forecast for the specific location.

Frequently asked questions
Can climate averages be used for a specific date?
No. Averages show the long-term picture, 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 eases the perceived heat, while temperatures in mountainous areas are lower than inland.
Is it safe to swim?
Assess sea conditions, the wind and local warnings. A comfortable water temperature does not rule out waves or currents.
Is sun protection necessary?
Yes. During sunny months, use a hat, water and skin protection, especially in the middle of the day.
