Cyprus / Bad Weather: First Phenomena Expected in Paphos - Yellow Warning in Effect

In Cyprus, bad weather has caused damage to a boat in Kato Paphos. The Trimaran-type vessel repeatedly hit a concrete wall due to the strong sea turbulence and had to be lifted ashore with a crane. Local professional fishermen report that the problem is frequent, especially with southerly winds, and are calling for an upgrade of the port to protect their boats. However, the upgrade is delayed due to the presence of an ancient port in the area. At the same time, the meteorological service has issued a yellow warning for storms, hail and strong winds, with the first phenomena expected in the west of the island. The weather is expected to improve in the coming days with a rise in temperature.
