Nicosia: The Cyprus Department of Meteorology has issued a forecast for the sea area of Cyprus for the period from midday on September 15, 2026, to midday on September 16, 2026. The forecast covers an area extending 8 kilometers seawards, with atmospheric pressure recorded at 1012 hPa. Seasonal low pressure is currently affecting the region, resulting in mainly fine weather conditions. However, there is a risk of increased low cloud coverage at night and in the morning, particularly over the southern and eastern coastal areas, which may lead to local mist and reduced visibility.
According to Cyprus News Agency, the sea surface temperature is expected to be 28°C during the forecast period. Visibility is generally good but may become moderate to poor in misty conditions. The forecast details variable wind patterns across different coastal areas of Cyprus, with winds measured on the Beaufort scale.
On the west coast, afternoon winds will blow from the west to northwest at force 4, locally increasing to force 5, resulting in slight sea conditions. In the night, winds will decrease to force 3 to 4, with the sea state ranging from smooth to slight. By morning, winds will become variable at force 3, later shifting to southwest to west at force 3 to 4, maintaining smooth to slight sea conditions.
The south coast will experience south to southwest winds at force 4 in the afternoon, increasing locally to force 5, with sea conditions ranging from smooth to slight. During the night, winds will shift to northwest to northeast at force 3 to 4, occasionally at first from southwest to west at force 4, with similar sea conditions.
