weather

[goddard8]

Hello and thank you for allowing me into the forum . me and my wife will be staying at the le chateau lambousa hotel in the kyrenia area for a weeks holliday from the 14th of march .We have looked on websites to get a idea of what kind of weather to expect but they all seem to contradict each other ,could anyone help please.

It's hard to call, the weather used to warm up considerably on the ides of March (15th), and it was back to shorts and t-shirts. Last year was pretty good at that time, but the previous few years didn't really warm up until 1st or 2nd week of April. I would pack some clothes to combat adverse weather but you could be lucky and it will be nice and warm for you. If you are coming from the UK it will feel warm, whatever. Mid-March is probably the most unpredictable time of year for weather. Day time temps should be in the low 20s at that time of year, but could be higher or lower. I've managed to totally confuse myself so I don't suppose this is very helpful to you at all!

Expect warm sunny days cool evenings. Not too hot not too cold but maybe some showers.

Layering (of clothes) is the way to go! Enjoy your holiday.

Have a good time and bring layers. Not sure you you'll need too much sun wear though. Plenty of hotels have indoor swimming pools (don't know about Lambousa). Like the rest of the planet we have a different temps than we used to, and have to adapt. Should be good for walking etc. Enjoy.

i agree with LAURA B layering is definitely the way here, I'm not sure I have ever worn proper shorts in March, but cropped trousers and definitely long at night. whatever, it is warmer than UK or Germany, that's for sure and more sun, none of the prolonged greyness

Weather looks a bit wild today.....

A lightweight plastic mac or cape (the sort you can carry in a handbag or the glove compartment of a car) is a good idea, as the rain can come on quite suddenly, almost literally out of a clear sky., andcan be very heavy while it lasts. Think of March here being like an English Late April/early Mayl, sunshine and showers, but usually a bit warmer.
