Cyprus has a favoured Mediterranean climate, with long dry summers from May to October and with mild winters from December to February, which are separated by short autumn and spring seasons. With a car from Cyprus Car Rental you can be in no time where you want to be, in the sun, indoors or cool mountains or parks. The summer is wonderfully hot and you can enjoy the beaches and the usual sea breeze. To cool down you can escape to the pleasantly refreshing mountains tops in very short time with Cyprus Car Rental. The Troodos Mountains during the summer months offer welcome relief for those who are intolerant of the heat. At a height of 6402ft above sea level, Mount Olympus - the highest peak on Cyprus - is on average some 10°c - 15°c cooler than locations on the coast. You can get most out of each season with Cyprus Car Hire. In autumn (October) the great heat of the summer is gone, yet still temperatures can reach 23C throughout November. From November through to February the temperatures vary in Cyprus.
December and January tend to be cooler with an average 16 C, whilst February returns to the low twenties. Days are pleasantly sunny with an average of six hours of bright sunshine per day. There can be short showers and much welcomed downpours once in a while. Take a pullover or coat for nights.
