Paphos Weather
The geographic location of Paphos lends itself to subtropical Mediterranean climates. Sunny Paphos boasts over 3400 hours of sunlight each year. The annual precipitation rate is 386.7 mm. The area receives the most moisture and rain during late fall. Early spring and summers rarely see any precipitation at all. However, the humidity ratings in July and August can oftentimes increase to 85%. July and August are also known for excessive heat. The climate changes come from hot air flow off the Sahara Desert, which drifts across the sea to Cyprus. This extreme weather can cause droughts, last seen in 2008 when a particularly dry summer caused Cyprus to ship water into the area from Greece due to such conditions. Winters see snow about once every 10 years. Snowfall is negligible to non-existent in Paphos and the only place likely to receive such are the hills of Tsada, located six kilometres to the north of Paphos. Average temperatures are quite temperate at 23.6 C as the high and 13.9 as the low. Summers can reach upwards of 30, while mild winters usually do not dip below 9.
