340 Sunny Days – But Not All the Same

Mediterranean: hot dry summers, mild wet winters. But coast vs Troodos: two climate zones. East drier than west. Day-night swings: up to 15°C.

Warm Season (May-Oct)

May: perfect (25-30°C). Jun: 28-34°C, sea swimmable. Jul-Aug: 35-42°C, AC 24/7, highest bills. Sep: still hot. Oct: second perfect month, sea 24°C, first rain.

The section on "340 Sunny Days – But Not All the Same" was the most valuable for us. We couldn't find this information anywhere else before our move. It saved us a lot of time and hassle.

What It Means for Daily Life
