Rainy December: Cyprus Replenishes Water Reserves and Prepares for the New Year

December 2025 is proving to be a particularly good month for rainfall in Cyprus, with recurring low-pressure systems bringing significant precipitation to much of the island, according to the Department of Meteorology. In several areas, the total rainfall for the month to date is approaching or exceeding normal levels for the season, locally improving hydrological conditions, without substantially altering the overall picture of the water balance. The 30th of December saw a particularly high average daily rainfall of 17.9 mm, with locally higher amounts. The low-pressure system affecting the island is expected to continue bringing significant rainfall throughout the 31st of December, with a warning for rain, thunderstorms, and strong winds in effect until 10:00 PM.
