• Cyprus is within the Mediterranean temperate zone
• Hot summers rise to an approximate of 41°C in its warmest month
• Mild winters drop to an approximate of 5°C in its coldest month
• Average humidity of 40-60% (sustaining within the comfort zone limits)
• Large daily temperature range (up to 18 °C difference between night and day)

These findings defined the following conclusions, regarding passive solar architecture in
Cyprus:

The large amount of solar radiation which varies from 3.48 KWh/mxday in midwinter to 8.82 KWh/mxday in midsummer, result in the potential for solar energy usage in winter Due to the hot summers, passive cooling is needed in Lefkosia
