What August is like
The hottest month: an average high of 31.0 °C and warm nights, with an average low of 21.7 °C. It’s also the driest, with 0.1 mm of rain on average, and the sea is at its warmest.
August is the warmest month of the year in Paphos and the twelfth-wettest, with less than 1% of the year’s rain. By day it’s 0.6 °C warmer than July and 1.6 °C warmer than September.
Relative humidity at the airport averages 74% in August, against 70% over the year. These are the averages for Paphos Airport, on the coast 9 metres above the sea; Villa Prasino is in Peyia, on a hillside above the sea at Coral Bay, so take them as a guide to the season rather than a forecast.
What’s open in August
- Lifeguards are on duty on Coral Bay’s Blue Flag beach.
- The Kato Paphos archaeological park is on its summer hours, open until 19:30.
- On the turtle beaches of Lara and Toxeftra, the summer rules apply from 1 June to 30 September: no umbrellas, no sunbeds and no visits at night.

Is August a good time to visit?
For the beach and swimming, August is one of the best months: the sea is about 27 °C and the days are almost dry.

What to pack for August
Light clothes, sunhats and plenty of sun cream: the sun is strong and the days are long.
