In February, the weather in Paphos is moderate winter weather. There are both sunny days and rainy/cloudy days. About, half the days of February are dry and sunny.
Although for many European visitors the climate seems mild and comfortable, Cypriots consider February a very cold month that usually hides many surprises such as a lot of snow mainly in the Troodos mountain range. February is the second rainiest month of the year. However it is not rare to experience prolonged periods of amble sunshine and clear skies that run for days.
