Default (O/T) Chily in Akrotiri, Cyprus

Message from a colleague over in Akrotiri mentioned they have a frost
warning out tonight for the airfield. Apparently it's only the 3rd time such
a warning has been issued in the last 50 years, the last recorded air frost
being -1.2°C in February 1997.

Currently +2.8 with a dew point of -12
LCRA 271950Z 35005KT CAVOK 03/M12 Q1021
min. expected to be around zero.

They were having serious problems with exceptionally heavy rainfall a
few weeks ago, especially around the Paphos area. Of course, it does
snow in the mountainous area in the centre of the island - enough for
skiing. Mount Olympus is just short of 2000m though.
