Famagusta, on Cyprus’s eastern coast, receives around 350 mm (about 14 inches) of rain a year, concentrated in winter with a long, dry Mediterranean summer that has long made the city’s beaches a major draw. Occasional intense winter storms can bring heavy short-term rainfall to the coastal plain, sometimes causing localized flooding given how little the region’s drainage sees use most of the year. Because the transition between the long dry season and the occasional wet-season storm happens quickly, radar tracking during winter is genuinely useful for residents and the local tourism sector. Cyprus’s Department of Meteorology operates the national radar network.
