On Christmas morning 2025, the east of Cyprus in particular was hit by intense rainfall. Heavy rain led to flash floods there, which turned numerous roads in the Larnaca district and in the area of free Famagusta into veritable watercourses. Numerous videos have spread on social networks that impressively document the extent of the floods.

While the eastern regions are struggling with the consequences of the heavy rain, the weather in other parts of the island is much friendlier. There is sunny weather with pleasant temperatures of up to 19 °C.

Weather development in the coming days

The Cypriot weather service points out that the brief calming of the weather on Christmas morning will not last. A currently still weak high-pressure area will lose influence in the course of the afternoon and make way for more changeable, locally sometimes strong weather phenomena.
