Meanwhile, heavy rains occurring around 11:15 a.m. in the Paphos district are affecting traffic on the district’s wider road network.
Due to the rain, visibility for passing drivers is limited, and in some areas, standing water is making the road surface slippery.
The police advise drivers to exercise extreme caution, as well as the general public traveling on the road network in these areas.
