We were in Paphos, August 11th 1999. The day of the total eclipse. The heat
and humidity was horrendous. So much so, that we vowed never to visit Cyprus
again in August. What made things worse was that the apartment was air
conditioned and even opening the window when we got up in the morning made
your clothes literally grab you.
The only place to escape the discomfort was in the pool. now we visit in
October, still very warm but more pleasant.
Regards. Len.

Cyprus is having a heatwave at the moment (44C in Nicosia yesterday)
and unusually, it seems that not only are the temperatures very high
but also the humidity is as well.

Paphos airport yesterday reported a max 32C and a DP of 29C. Apart
from India in pre-monsoon condtions, I have never seen a DP so high in
Europe. Today it is just as hot and already at 8am (UTC) it is 32C
with a DP of 28C and RH 79%.

It must be feeling absolutely horrendous with such high humidities;
glad I'm not there!
