Weather in Cyprus in August

August is the hottest month in Cyprus. During the day it is usually +30 ° C and above, but can often reach +40 ° C. The greenery in this month starts to turn yellow, and it is better to stay at home at lunchtime on windless days.

In Ayia Napa, Paphos and other coastal resorts the heat is easier to bear because of comfortable level of humidity - about 60%.

August is a good time to visit Cyprus for those who feel well in the heat, because the wind in this month is less than usual on the island - on average its speed does not exceed 5 metres per second.

Bathing is not always refreshing, with water temperatures around 30 degrees Celsius. Average values: Ayia Napa - 31, Larnaca - 26, Limassol - 27.7, Paphos - 26, Protaras - 28, Famagusta - 28 degrees Celsius.

In any case, it is better to protect yourself from the sun, do not stay outdoors during the day, use creams and be in the shade more often.
