March the Unpredictable!

Weather-wise, March in Cyprus can be one of the most unreliable and unpredictable months of the whole year! Sometimes, in early March, you may enjoy a swim in the sea as the water temperature is about 18-19°C and in the afternoon you may feel like going skiing in the mountains!   March comes to announce that Spring is round the corner. Almond trees are now in full bloom and the sea air is intoxicating as it mingles with the aromas of fruit trees. Right now, we are enjoying clear, blue skies, warm days and cool nights and temperatures rising to 20°C . The good old saying  "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb"  seems to be going in the reverse direction, here in Cyprus.  Today, March has come like a lamb. I hope it won't go out like a lion.  In Cyprus, there's another saying about March:  "Ο Μάρτης πότε γελά πότε κλαίει." - March sometimes laughs and sometimes cries.
