This is a climate guideline, not a forecast. The TRNC Meteorological Service uses the 1991–2020 climate normals: overall, the rainiest months are December and January, while the driest are July and August.
How to plan your day
- Check the forecast and warnings on the day of your trip: local wind and rainfall can differ even on neighboring coasts.
- For walks, choose clothing in layers: the perceived temperature differs noticeably in the sun and in the shade.
- At the beach, assess the sea conditions and flags, not just the air temperature.
The coast and inland areas
Nicosia and the Mesaoria Plain are usually hotter than the coast in summer. In Kyrenia, Famagusta and İskele, the wind by the sea can change the perceived temperature; it is cooler in the mountains. For a route between areas, refer to the forecast for the specific location.

Frequently asked questions
Can climate normals be used for a specific date?
No. Normals show the long-term pattern, while a specific date requires the current forecast from the TRNC Meteorological Service.
Where is it cooler in summer?
On the coast, the wind often makes the heat feel milder, while temperatures in mountainous areas are lower than in inland areas.
Is it safe to swim?
Assess the sea conditions, wind and warnings on site. A comfortable water temperature does not rule out waves or currents.
Is sun protection necessary?
Yes. During sunny months, use a hat, water and skin protection, especially in the middle of the day.
