Nicosia: The Cyprus Department of Meteorology has issued a forecast for the sea area around Cyprus, covering a distance of 8 kilometers seawards. The forecast, effective from 1800 on July 15, 2026, until 1800 on July 16, 2026, indicates that seasonal low pressure is influencing the region, resulting in mainly fine weather with some increased low cloud and a risk of local mist in the early morning. Visibility is expected to be good, though it may become moderate to poor in misty conditions.
According to Cyprus News Agency, the atmospheric pressure at the time of the forecast issuance was recorded at 1006 hPa. The sea surface temperature is currently 27°C, and no warnings have been issued for the area. The winds are being measured using the Beaufort scale, with variations expected throughout the day across different coastal regions.
On the west coast, the night will see northwest to north winds at a Beaufort scale of 3 to 4, later shifting to northwest to northeast at 3. This will result in the sea state being slight, becoming smooth to slight later. In the morning, winds will change to southeast to southwest at 3, gradually transitioning to west to southwest at 3 to 4, maintaining a smooth to slight sea state. By the afternoon, the winds will shift to southwest to northwest at 3 to 4, with some local areas experiencing west to northwest winds at 4 to 5, keeping the sea state slight.
For the south coast, southwest to west winds at 3 to 4 are expected at night, gradually shifting to northwest at 3, with the sea state remaining smooth to slight.
