Weather in Cyprus in December
December is already the Cypriot autumn in full swing - with clouds, precipitation, and winds. However, the water temperature has not dropped significantly yet, making the microclimate along the coast quite pleasant.
If not in the sun, something more than just a t-shirt is needed even during the day, and by evening the air temperature drops enough to make you want to wear a jacket. However, if there are no clouds during the day and the sun is shining, you can even sunbathe.
