The warmest resort in Cyprus. Cyprus in January
November is a non-tourist period for Cyprus; the main flow of travelers gradually subsided in September - early October, cities and resorts are empty, many discos have stopped working, the beaches are much more spacious and freer. However, there are certain advantages and a certain joy for those visiting the island. November Cyprus is attractive to many and in terms of weather it is quite acceptable for spending a holiday there.
Dynamics of air and water temperatures from the beginning to the end of the month
Most fickle month, which sometimes presents not very pleasant surprises, is November, but weather forecasters can reassure travelers who want to visit Cyprus at this time of year. The last month of autumn on the island is still pampers with warmth and bright sun: the temperature during the day can rise to +21...+23°C, at night you can expect +13...+15°C, sea water cools down to +21°C. This temperature regime is maintained in almost all large resorts of Cyprus.
Local residents of Cyprus have learned to understand subtleties of the weather their homeland, so they say that if October was rainy, then in November it is better to avoid swimming in the sea and remember the comfortable and warm pools. Well, if October pleases you with warmth, then there will still be an opportunity to plunge into sea water.
Although, a tourist should not rely too much on long-term water treatments, it is better to turn his attention to the sun and bask in its rays, regularly using sunscreen to avoid skin problems.
WITH end of the month real late autumn weather arrives, characterized by rain and wind. It is worth taking this nuance into account and taking care of appropriate clothing and accessories. This is especially true for those who like to go to the mountains, where the temperature at this time will not rise above +13 °C.
Features of the November holiday
Is it possible to swim and sunbathe?
If you are beach lover, then you can very well please yourself with a November trip to Cyprus. Although some forethought should be used, since each year has its own characteristics. Sometimes November can be rainy, which means swimming in the sea becomes almost impossible, but you can sunbathe during breaks between rains.
On the other hand, if the weather is good, the joys of a beach holiday practically no different from the summer period. If we take into account the weather of the Cypriot winter, which for a more northern European is more reminiscent of a warm autumn, then the Cypriot autumn (even if it is November) is generally similar to a normal European summer. Water within 20-25 degrees is quite pleasant for taking a dip or swimming (depending on the degree of warming up); the air allows you to walk in light clothing and enjoy the light and warmth.

Where is it better to relax at this time: in Cyprus or in Turkey?
IN Turkey The swimming season usually ends around October. Since the beginning of November, swimming on the Turkish coasts has been practically impossible. Of course, if you are a confident walrus, then a water temperature of less than 20 degrees Celsius will not bother you, but others prefer warmer water.
Cyprus, as mentioned earlier, may well provide a beach holiday in November. Of course, in the second half the water may cool down a little, but even then not always and not much less than twenty degrees.
At the same time, in early November in Cyprus, for the most part, both air temperature and water temperature are always warmer than Turkey.

1. Holidays in Cyprus in May: reviews from tourists
Four Lanterns Blue view
Evgeniya (rested May 14 - 28, 2018 in Protaras). “Some people write in their reviews that it is cool in Cyprus in May, others write that it is warm. Those who talk about the cold apparently believe that the rivers and lakes of Russia consist exclusively of fresh milk. We have been to Cyprus several times since the May holidays. Year after year does not happen. In 2016 we swam calmly, but in 2017 it was cool. Although this is rather an exception. In the second half of the month it’s already normal. But in the evening it gets cool and we put on sweatshirts. Every day it will get hotter and hotter. I personally really like May in Cyprus. There is no heat and crowds of tourists, like in the summer, and the prices are just a fairy tale...”
Elena (rested May 12 - 19, 2018 in Protaras). “We arrived in Cyprus on May 12. According to the forecast, we were scared - rain, but we worried in vain. We arrived, and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky, the sun was shining, it was warm, it was good. By the way, don’t look at the weather in Cyprus on the Gismeteo website - it doesn’t add up. The only negative is that there was wind, but we swam and had a great time on the beach in the first days. We went to the sea from 8 am and our four-year-old daughter did not leave the water. And on the weekend the heat was up to +37°C. This is how I will leave my review...”
Anatoly (rested May 26 - 31, 2017 in Larnaca). “We were in Cyprus with our children in May and we liked it more than in the summer. Therefore, I can’t say anything negative in my review. There are still few tourists. Water parks and amusement parks were open. All cafes and restaurants are open. It is especially good to go to the sea in the morning, at 8 - 9 o'clock. You come to the shore, and there is grace there. People - one, two, and miscalculated. The water, of course, invigorates, but getting out is just right. There are at most five people swimming in the sea. It was hot during the day. The beaches are half full. As the sun set, it became cool near the water, because a cold breeze often blew from the sea. So bring some sweatshirts with you for the evening. There was no rain..."
Ekaterina (rested May 1 - 14, 2016 in Ayia Napa). “I will write a review about my experience of traveling to Cyprus in May. In the first days of the month it was warm in Cyprus: the temperature rose to +30°C during the day. On May 6 there was rain and thunderstorms, the temperature dropped to +24°C. Then two days later it became warm again. We climbed into the water to swim. And on the day when we left Cyprus for home, the heat during the day was unbearable, the air warmed up to +36°C...”
Marina (rested May 20 - 29, 2015 in Paphos). “We read a lot of reviews on the Internet and decided to go on vacation to Cyprus in the second half of May. Many people write that at the beginning of the month the weather can be worse than in the middle and end. But it doesn’t happen year after year, and on our trip it just coincided that there was rain on the island. True, the rain there is not prolonged and not everywhere. Clouds rolled in, wet the ground and the sun was shining again. This did not spoil our holiday in Cyprus...”
Sergey (rested May 6 - 16, 2014 in Limassol). “For some reason everyone thinks that you can swim in Cyprus in May. Nope, of course, you can get into the water in winter. But the sea warms up to a comfortable temperature for swimming only in June, after Trinity. The locals will confirm this...!”

The sun was behind the clouds and it seemed that the cloudy weather lingered on the island for a long time. The next morning the Cypriot sun was not encouraging, but by lunchtime the clouds had cleared and it became very hot. The next day the picture repeated itself, and in the following days there were no clouds at all.
“What do we need snow, what do we need heat, what do we need torrential rain...” Of course, there is no snow in Cyprus in May. Yes, it may be cloudy and rainy, but there are no such prolonged rains as in Russia. At noon it heats up so much that it is very hot in the open sun. It gets cooler in the evening.

What's on the thermometer? It turns out that the May weather on the island is warm and comfortable? Basically, yes. In the morning, at 8-9 o'clock it is usually fresh and the temperature stays at +18...+20°C. By the way, at that time I went swimming in the sea - it was quite comfortable. At noon it becomes noticeably hotter and the air temperature on the resort coast of Cyprus rises to +30°C. In the evening and especially at night, the atmosphere cools and the thermometer drops to +15...+20°C. The water temperature in the Mediterranean Sea is in the range of +18…+23 degrees.

Cyprus has a Mediterranean tropical climate. Most likely, your holiday in Cyprus in May will not be spoiled by rainy weather and, in general, it will be warm and dry like summer.

We took out medical insurance for the duration of the trip. We booked the hotel ourselves on Booking.com five months before the trip. And we didn’t regret it, because already in April all the rooms for our dates were occupied. We were in Cyprus for 20 days.
