Nicosia: The Cyprus Department of Meteorology has issued a forecast for the sea area of Cyprus that will be in effect from 1200 on July 22, 2026, until 1200 on July 23, 2026. The forecast covers an area extending 8 kilometers seawards. The department reports that the region is currently under the influence of seasonal low pressure, which is expected to lead to mainly fine weather conditions, although there will be increased low cloud coverage overnight and during the morning. This cloud coverage brings a risk of local mist and fog patches, particularly over the southern and eastern coasts.
