Cyprus recorded its coldest temperature in four decades early on Tuesday as the mercury in Nicosia plunged to -3.7 degrees Celsius, according to KitasWeather.
The record-breaking reading was registered at 05:57 at the Athalassa radiosonde station, breaking the previous low of -3.3 degrees Celsius set on March 1, 1985.
This marks the lowest temperature recorded at the station since its installation in 1983.
The freezing conditions were part of a broader cold snap affecting the entire island, with sub-zero temperatures reported at several locations across Cyprus overnight.
Weather officials have issued advisories for potentially hazardous conditions, particularly in mountainous and inland areas, as the cold spell continues.
