On Friday, the weather will be partly cloudy, with the possibility of brief, isolated showers. Winds will be significantly stronger, particularly in coastal areas.
On Saturday, locally increased cloud is expected at times, which after midday may give isolated showers over mountainous areas and regions south of Troodos.
