Yes, It Rains in Cyprus
Rainy season Nov-Mar. Most annual rainfall in these 5 months. Not every day (10-15 rain days/month winter). Between showers: sunshine, often same day.
What to Expect
Nov: first heavy rains. Dec-Jan: wettest (8-12 rain days, 10-17°C, Troodos snow). Feb: transition (almond blossom!). Mar: last rain, spring breaks through. When it rains: heavy (flash floods possible).
The section on "Yes, It Rains in Cyprus" was the most valuable for us. We couldn't find this information anywhere else before our move. It saved us a lot of time and hassle.

What It Means for Daily Life
Housing: mold risk at coast (dehumidifier recommended). Car: roads slippery after dry months (reduce speed). Mood: grey days can worsen homesickness. Activities: museums, cinema, Troodos skiing. Between rains: best hiking.
