Limassol in January
Not the best time
January is Limassol at its quietest and wettest. You'll have the old town mostly to yourself, but expect closed venues and unpredictable weather that keeps you indoors more than you'd like.
Weather
January brings Limassol's coolest temperatures with frequent rain showers rolling in from the Mediterranean. Humidity stays around 70% and you'll get maybe 4-5 hours of sunshine on a good day. The sea temperature drops to about 18°C - too cold for most swimmers.

All Months
April through June gives you perfect weather without the crowds. Temperatures hover around 24°C, the sea is swimmable, and hotel prices haven't hit peak season yet. The wine harvest happens in September, making it ideal for vineyard visits.
September and October are golden months. The sea stays warm from summer (22°C), but the crushing heat breaks. Locals return from their August holidays, so restaurants and bars are fully operational again.
July and August? Only come if you love 35°C heat and don't mind sharing beaches with every British family on holiday. Hotel prices double, and good restaurant tables book weeks ahead. But the nightlife peaks, and every beach club is in full swing.
Winter (December-February) sees temperatures around 16°C with occasional rain. Most beach clubs close, but it's perfect for exploring the historic sites without sweating through your shirt. Plus, wine tours are less crowded and sometimes include harvest activities.
