Paphos

What's the weather like in Paphos in October?

Paphos is in the southwest of Cyprus, just off Turkey’s south coast and North Africa. This means it gets lovely weather all year round that’s some of the hottest in Europe. If you're going in October then you'll still feel like it’s the long, hot summer, and you'll get high temperatures, lots of sun and not much rain.

Climatic influences

Paphos has quite typical Mediterranean weather, although it’s even hotter than other destinations in the region because it’s close to Western Asia. The sea and its breezes will usually keep you cool, although warm winds can blow in from the Sahara Desert, which makes things really hot. Cyprus has lovely clear skies, and you'll get the very best of the island’s weather when you're in Paphos.
