CURIUM EXCAVATIONS EPISKOPI, LIMASSOL CYPRUS

Your guess about Cypriot weather for January was about correct; something more than our quota of four inches of rainfall for the month but not very cold. I keep a record of daily maximums and minimums and the average max. has been about 60 degrees, the average minimum (at night of course) about 48 degrees. The absolute max. has been 44. The thermometer hangs in complete shade on the north wall of the house. So you see the weather though showery has been mild. The last week has been perfect with one incredible day following another. For this country a beautiful day in February is the best of the year. All here ask to be remembered to you and hope you will be coming down soon.
