November

November is the month when the weather in Cyprus breaks from warm autumn towards colder winter. Around the middle of November temperatures begin to drop noticeably and the rainy season starts. During this month it can rain from three to six days. November is the third rainiest month after December and January. On average maximum temperature gets up to 22°C on the west coast and inland and 23°C-24°C on the eastern-south coast. On the mountains it already gets noticeably cold with temperatures not going higher than 13°C. At night, temperature drops down to 13°C-14°C on the coast and 10°C inland. On the heights of Troodos, it already feels like winter at night with the temperature staying as low as 6°C. The sea water is about 21°C.

I can’t dare the sea water temperature, though. Some people are braver than me and enjoy a swim in the sea.  The sea has its ups and downs in November. It’s sometimes calm and  tempting, but it’s often  rough and gloomy.  Yet, we never get huge waves or unbearably  cold waters.  Last Sunday, November was cruel!  it was raining heavily and then the rain gave way to a terrible storm. I’ve had the fear of storms since my early childhood – thunders, thunderbolt and lightning  give me the willies!  At last, since Monday , November has given us back our sunshine and great blue skies! I wish it rained only at night, preferably after midnight.  Despite the occasional storms, November is an ideal month – neither too hot nor too cold. And it’s that time of year again when chrysanthemum  is in full bloom.

Most  importantly, November is the Herald of Christmas!
