The Met Office yellow storms warning run its course as dusk set in, but heavy showers have continued across most of Cyprus, with the Byron Depression picking up early afternoon, offering up valuable nuggets of rainfall, desperately needed to enrich mostly empty, muddy dams around the country.
The south to southeast was the area which saw much of the showers, with rain volume in Kornos and Kakoratzia reaching 13.8 and 9 millimetres respectively in the space of just ten minutes.
Police have issued repeated warnings to drivers on the motorways, as visibility remained low during the day and conditions perilously slippery, with the phenomenon moving eastwards.
Kitaweather has recorded rain volume across most of Republic territory.
The storm was strengthened on its way to north, dropping egg sized hail in the Keryneia-Ayios Epiktitos region and even forming a watersprout northeast of Akanthou.
