Cyprus weather has been very good to us this week.

The weather this week has been fantastic for this time of year.

It's 7 years this week that we came to live permanently in Cyprus and this is the mildest winter we've had so far.

Temperatures this week have been displayed as 20c most days but it does look like Green Monday is likely to be a bit of a let down for those who are planning going out to eat veggies and fly their kites :-(

But hey, we've got a couple of days of gorgeous weather before then and who knows - the miserable weather may just pass us by!

That's all folks for today. It's Friday and I now have a nice long weekend off work.

Maybe a trip up to Mount Olympus is in order - check out the Ski Cyprus webcam.

Time to ski on Mount Olympus, Troodos - Cyprus

Yes, it's true!

The sun has been shining all day long but we still have snow up on Troodos mountains.

I just knew we should have gone up for a visit today, dammit!

I have a feeling we will be buying a sledge, my knees won't stand up to skiing anymore!

We got rain yesterday and boy, it poured down - all day!

It finally went and did it yesterday....

The heavens opened and we were deluged for most of the day or at least from around 11am in Limassol.

We had heavy rain, lightning and thunder with the roads being flooded and rivers of rain water pouring down the  street where I work to the roundabout at St Nicholas.

The bad weather continued through the night, knocking our satellite tv off from about 6.30pm for an hour and the thunder, lightning and strong winds were ongoing when we went to bed just before midnight. And, it tripped the power of course!

The weather forecast isn't much better for the weekend either. We got up to rain again this morning and although it did brighten for a spell, it's going a bit murky again as I type....

I've got some pictures I took with my phone from my office window looking towards the huge Santa Claus on St Nicholas roundabout:

This one below is of my office. I do work with other people but they abandoned me for a fag break! We're moving soon to a slightly different location but a bit closer to the Post Office.

To stay informed, weather wise - keep an eye on the Limassol Weather link in the right hand column. It's damn cold today and apparently will be cooler still tomorrow. Urgh!

And for those of you who may feel a trip up Troodos to Mount Olympus coming on, take a look at the Cyprus ski resort webcam before you travel. They reckon we may get snow up there this weekend!
