Larnaca, home to Cyprus’s main international airport, receives around 350 mm (about 14 inches) of rain a year, concentrated almost entirely in winter with a very long, dry summer typical of the island’s southeastern coast. Given the airport’s central role in the country’s air travel, sudden winter storms carry operational significance beyond typical daily inconvenience. The city’s famous salt lake, dry for much of the year, can see water return after winter rain. Because the dry season leaves so little margin for error when rain does arrive, radar tracking during the wetter months is a genuinely practical tool. Cyprus’s Department of Meteorology operates the national radar network.
