Troodos Mountains Covered in Snow - Live Images from Cyprus

The highest peaks of Troodos are covered in snow, according to Eric Kitass, who is broadcasting live images of the snowfall. Cyprus is under the influence of low pressure, a cold air mass, and a strengthened wind field. This afternoon, the weather is expected to be partly cloudy with local showers or thunderstorms, mainly in the mountains, west and north, while snowfall will continue in the higher mountains. Winds will be northwesterly, very strong to strong, with gusts reaching up to 8 Beaufort locally. The sea will be choppy to very choppy and locally stormy. Tonight, the weather will be mostly cloudy with isolated showers, mainly in the west, mountains and north. Snowfall may continue in the higher mountains. Winds will gradually weaken but remain moderate to strong. The temperature will drop to 7 degrees inland, 9 degrees on the coast and around -2 degrees in the mountains, where frost is expected. Tomorrow, the weather will be intermittently cloudy with local showers and isolated thunderstorms, while snowfall will continue in the mountains. Winds will be southwesterly to westerly, moderate to strong, and the sea will be rough. The temperature will rise to 17 degrees inland and on the coast and to 6 degrees in the mountains.
