Annual Water Temperature Trend

Paphos, on the southwest coast of Cyprus, benefits from a typically Mediterranean marine climate with comparatively mild sea temperatures year round. Seasonal water temperatures generally range from about 16–18°C in the core of winter (December–February) to roughly 18–22°C in spring (March–May). Summer months warm the sea considerably, with common values of 24–28°C from June through September and peak readings often around 28°C in August. Autumn sees a gradual cooling, with waters usually between 22–26°C in October and November, so the sea remains relatively warm well into the autumn compared with more northerly European coasts.
