Meteorological Service: Heavy Rain, Thunderstorms, and Strengthening Winds Expected in Northern Cyprus

The Meteorological Service reported on March 29, 2026, that localized heavy rains, thunderstorms, and strong winds are expected today in Northern Cyprus. According to the service, a rain front that passed through Turkey's Marmara and Aegean regions began affecting the island starting late last night and will continue to exert influence throughout the day.

Radar data shows that precipitation will be local in nature — ranging from short-term downpours to thunderstorms. The report emphasizes that winds will strengthen significantly today, potentially causing traffic disruptions and increased risk for light structures and outdoor items.

The forecast also indicates a temperature drop of approximately 3–4 degrees due to the arrival of a cool front. Authorities and the service ask residents and visitors to exercise caution: secure loose objects where necessary, avoid going out to the open sea, and stay alert while driving on slippery roads.

Stay tuned for updates from the Meteorological Service and local authorities. If weather conditions worsen, it is recommended to limit outdoor activities and plan movements in advance.
