Oh you little tease Trev! I hope they are correct, we need the rain and it would be lovely to feel a little cooler. We shall see!

[trevnhil]

Oh... I see now that there is No thunder and lighten forecast now... Maybe we will get some in the hills

My forecast shows the possibility of showers from Friday afternoon through to Monday. Sunday has the most chance of rain and the biggest potential rainfall, if it happens! Any showers will be sporadic and local; you may be lucky or you may be unlucky (depending on whether you want rain or not!)

[trevnhil]

We might join you.. It still shows thunderstorms for our area Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and Monday afternoons ???

Luckily, down on the coast where I am the thunderstorms forecast for tomorrow seem to have disappeared!

I don't mind thunderstorms tomorrow when I'm at work, but it needs to be snorkelling weather for me on Saturday...

[trevnhil]

Does thunder affect Snorkelling ?

I never understand why people come to Cyprus because, amongst other reasons, of the sun. They then complain about the heat and pray for rain. Then when it does rain, they complain that their pool is now full of dust, and too cold to swim in.

I guess, in a nutshell, that is what being British is all about. If it wasn't for the weather there would be no conversation at all.

Yes, turbulent weather can stir up the sand and sediment and make snorkelling crap and hazardous! A friend of mine is a dive instructor and some days the diving visibility is very limited but he still has to look after several other divers underwater although visibility may be down to a few feet!

We like discussing the weather josef k, it's one of our greatest pastimes and we can debate it until the cows come home ………………… if that translates?

I went for a swim at Timi beach this morning at 8am. I did it last Friday and the water was so calm and crystal clear, I didn't want to get out. Today it looked calm from a distance, but there was a bit of swell which had stirred up all the sand, I couldn't see the bottom even in the shallows, and the visibility was just as bad as far out as the swimmers buoys.

I have swum/snorkelled in the rain, and I'm sure will do so again, but it also depends on other conditions. And I wouldn't be in the water if there was a chance of lightening...

Um, where was anybody complaining?

[josef k]

Not on this forum, as far as I am aware. I was taking the broader view.

Heavy rain reported on the Nicosia - Limassol highway...

[Devil]

Both my weather stations have recorded 1.8 mm for today with 1.2 mm in the last hour. Now sunny again!

[trevnhil]

But you are not in the Paphos area... However you are near to the Nicosia to Limassol motorway..
No rain here at all yet..

[trevnhil]

BIG spots of rain in Polemi, and my wife thinks she heard thunder a short while ago..

[trevnhil]

And now Thunder and Lightning..

[Anarita John]

We can hear it too in the distance.
