Nicosia: The Cyprus Department of Meteorology has issued a detailed forecast for the sea area surrounding Cyprus, covering an 8-kilometer range seawards, for the period from 1200 on September 10, 2026, until 1200 on September 11, 2026. The forecast indicates that the region is currently under the influence of seasonal low pressure, resulting in mainly fine weather conditions. However, there is a possibility of increased low cloud coverage overnight and during the morning, particularly affecting the southern and eastern coastal areas. This may lead to local mist and fog patches, impacting visibility, which will generally be good but may reduce to moderate or poor in mist, and very poor in fog.
According to Cyprus News Agency, the atmospheric pressure at the time of the forecast's issuance stands at 1009 hPa. The sea surface temperature is expected to remain at 29°C. There are no warnings issued for this period. The forecast provides specific details on the wind conditions and state of the sea for various coastal areas.
On the west coast, afternoon winds will range from west to northwest at 3 to 4 on the Beaufort scale, occasionally reaching 4 to 5, resulting in slight sea conditions. At night, winds will shift from northwest to northeast at 3, with initial conditions of west to northwest winds at 4, leading to smooth to slight seas, locally slight at first. By morning, the winds will change to southwest at 3, maintaining smooth to slight sea conditions.
For the south coast, afternoon winds will blow from the southwest at 3 to 4, locally reaching 4 to 5, with slight sea conditions. During the night, winds will transition from southwest to northwest at 3 to 4, later becoming variable at 3, maintaining smooth to slight seas.
