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

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.

That "3" group tells us that the ground was frozen and the grass min
