Hazardous Air quality in Cyprus right now
Except of Paphos area, the Air quality in Cyprus at the moment is hazardous. (8 AM) Even in Paphos with 167 PM10 it is well above healthy condition, but not to compare with Larnaca area with more than 1000 PM10 at Ormidia station. No warning from the Government yet... :roll: :roll: :roll: https://up...

Re: Concerns mount over Paphos road project setbacks
I'm not convinced. It's a general rule that most traffic is local. The red plates are a small (if annoying) minority of vehicles, but there are very large numbers of locals who plough between Polis and Paphos every day. Many people live in one area and commute to the other. Courier companies and th...

Re: Concerns mount over Paphos road project setbacks
Most of the traffic towards Polis comes from the Limassol direction not from Paphos. Nearly all the goods of the supply chain with transport cars, as well as all tourist buses and rental cars come also from that direction as the two airports are in east of the country and Nicosia is still the main h...

Today: Cyprus is 20 years in the EU... good article
Another good article in the local press, on the anniversary Cyprus joining the EU, 20 years ago....especially during the bailout of 2013, after the explosion of the main power station at Limassol area.

This article, even if you read it 3 times, tells you nothing why there is a delay, only talks about meetings and meetings...

Very strange day today in Anarita. Cloud cover all day and we only made 7.33kwh on our pv system, compared to 18.3kwh in Wales. (only the second time we have made more in Wales than Cyprus) One day later however, today, you should have produced more than 6 kWh per 1 kWp installed solar modules, eve...

Myth or not, we've lived here 20 years and almost every year something like this turns up. Some years have been worse than others.......

Re: Plane over Paphos
I forgot to mention that the noise this plane was producing while landing at the Army base Paphos, more than 10 km away from my place, sounded like thunder and I went outdoors to look if rainy weather is coming. Normally I can't hear a thing when planes are landing at Paphos airport. Perhaps the run...

High dust concentrations this morning 10 AM
I was wondering why I was much more coughing all morning today and had a look at the Cyprus Air quality website, which was showing at 9 AM, for PM 10: 139 mcg/m2 for Paphos and whopping 242 mcg/m2 at 10 PM for Limassol. So mind, if you are active outdoors this morning.... https://up.picr.de/47441592...

It looks like summer 2024 arrives early
Since a couple of days the nighttime temperature at my place in the Paphos hinterland (450 m sea level) was not below 18c and looking up the forecast of a German weather website, it looks like that summer 2024 is on the way early....
