Traveller notes on Nicosia in February
Other months in Nicosia
Forum posters describe early October in Cyprus as still hot by day and warm in the evenings, cooling progressively as the month goes on, with the beginning of the month rated as a particularly nice time to arrive - comfortable daytime temperatures paired with cooler evenings. Posters note families with school-age children often specifically target the end of October for half-term breaks and still find the water warm enough to swim. Posters are consistent that conditions shift noticeably by mid-to-late October, turning cooler with gustier coastal winds as the month progresses. Posters generally rate October overall as a pleasant transitional month, warm enough for swimming through the whole month but distinctly cooler and windier by the back half than the front.
Cyprus-forum regulars describe April as changeable rather than settled: warm sunny days in the low 20sC alternate with cloudier, cooler spells where rain is a real possibility, so a single week can swing noticeably. Evenings cool off enough that a jumper or light jacket and long trousers get recommended even after a warm afternoon - inland spots like Nicosia see a wider day-to-night swing than the coast. Regulars call it comfortable for sightseeing and even sunbathing on a good day, just not a month to plan around guaranteed warmth after dark.
