I noticed that the barges and cranes are coming into shelter in Latsi/polis
today even the diggers are shoreside, so i'm expecting the winds to increase in the next couple of days

Re: Expecting bad weather
Yes, it is on its' way - I've been watching the weather in Malta and they've had 2 very windy days, which has caused the Azure Window on Gozo to completely collapse into the sea. It's gone now forever, one of nature's creations which she's just destroyed 
The forecast indicated the weather was headed in the direction of Rhodes....

The Cyprus Coptic Equinox gale (El Hossum), an 8 day, South Westerly gale is due 10 March (+ /- 24hrs)

Re: Expecting bad weather
I tend to take the Coptics with a pinch of salt.... a storm, is a storm, is a storm. Weather does strange things and that's about as much as we need to know

Re: Expecting bad weather
I have found over the years that the Coptic Storms/gales are very accurate.
The next few days of bad weather happen every year at about the same date, the Cypriots are great believers in the Coptic Charts.

Re: Expecting bad weather
Well I've just looked back over my photos for the last 3yrs in March and there's nothing significant to report on dodgy weather...

Mark/Lloyd, never in my time here have I ever found Coptic storm warnings reliable in any way.

Well they never work for me, I always think if they are on time it is pure coincidence.
