Limassol Holiday Weather Overview
Situated on the southern coast of Cyprus, Limassol has a reputation as the party capital of the island. As well as its lively nightlife, the town has a good number of archaeological sites and historical sites - this coupled with its gentle shores and scenic beaches makes Limassol a favourite with tourists throughout the year.
Limassol's Climate
Limassol experiences long, hot, dry summers, and very mild winters. Spring and autumn are short seasons here, but the weather is typically pleasant. The lack of extreme weather conditions means that Limassol is a year-round resort, although the busiest times of the year are the spring and summer seasons.
Spring in Limassol
March, April and May see Limassol coming to life, with blooms on the hillsides and average daily high temperatures in the low 20s Celsius. Spring can be showery, and thunderstorms are quite common. It can also be very windy at this time, and if the winds blow in sand from the Sahara, visibility can be affected.
Spring is a good time for exploring the foothills of the Troodos Mountains, and for examining the archaeological remains at Amathus and Kourion. Bring lightweight layered clothing to account for the changing temperatures.
Summer in Limassol
Limassol's summers are long and marked by high temperatures. Daytimes regularly see 32°C, and temperatures in the high 30s Celsius are not unusual. Nights are balmy with temperatures rarely dropping below 20, so you'll want some lightweight evening clothing as well as plenty of sunscreen and a hat for the day.
Some visitors find Limassol's summer heat stifling, but of course, it's a great time to be on the beach, where sea breezes may keep the temperature more bearable. You can expect strong sunshine every day, with rain virtually unheard of at this time of year. If you get too hot, how about cooling off with a tipple during Limassol's August wine festivals?
Autumn in Limassol
The autumn months in Limassol are very pleasant, with temperatures keeping well up in the mid to high 20s Celsius. Nights can become distinctly chilly from November onwards, however, with lows of around 10°C, so bring a shawl or something with long sleeves for the evening.
Now that the heat of the summer has faded, autumn is a good time for exploring the surrounding countryside.
Winter in Limassol
Winter in Limassol can be wet and windy, although these stormy periods are interspersed with bright, clear days. It's not particularly cold, with daytime temperatures around 17°C and overnight lows of around 10°C, but you'll want to bring a jacket against the rain and the wind. The sea is still warm enough for hardy swimmers, although you may prefer instead to marvel at the throngs of flamingos which gather at this time of year on Lady's Mile Beach.
