North Cyprus winters are mild and occasionally wet, like today, with 60 percent of the rain falling between December and February. Frost and snow are almost unknown in North Cyprus, although night temperatures can fall to low levels in winter, specially during the month of January.
Last year in January the Kyrenia mountain range and Nicosia even saw light snowfall as North Cyprus experienced a cold snap. Will we get any snow this year I wonder?
The weather in North Cyprus during winter is much like an European spring day, so dress for possible changes in the weather, from warm to wet. Certainly, you can leave your heavy winter coats behind, and swap them for jackets that keep the wind and rain out when necessary. You’ll need an extra layer for the evenings, which can be chilly, but a good hot Turkish coffee will soon warm you up!
