The entire island of Cyprus is bracing for the coldest night of the year as temperatures are expected to plummet to -11 degrees Celsius in mountainous regions.
The frigid conditions have already transformed the landscape into a winter scene, with snow flurries reaching even the capital, Nicosia.
The Meteorology Department has issued an orange warning, effective from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM, indicating severe weather conditions that may disrupt daily life.
The polar cold has made its presence felt across the island, confining many residents to their homes, relying on heating and fireplaces to stay warm.
This morning, snow was reported not only in the Troodos mountain range but also in several other mountainous and semi-mountainous communities.
Citizens have taken to social media to share images of the snowy vistas, capturing the rare beauty of the island’s winter wonderland.
Despite the harsh weather, some residents have ventured outdoors, seeking solace in good company, traditional zivania, wine, and appetizers to fend off the cold. However, temperatures are expected to remain low tomorrow, and the police have issued warnings for drivers to exercise caution on the icy roads.
