When to go
From the 2026 climate study, not the live forecast.Structural odds, not a verdict — the live forecast can still surprise either way.
The mildest winter of any European destination (sea 21.6°C even in February). April–May and October–November are the swimmable shoulder seasons. July and August routinely exceed 35°C — Cyprus inland touched 45°C in 2023, even Troodos mountains hit a record 36°C. Cyprus is EU but not Schengen.
