Need more info cos explanations for the discrepancies might be localised variations, cos CY with its variable terrain can give rise to differences.

Where is the weather station in Nicosia reporting these sub-zero temps? ... and where is your sensor located, and how is your sensor calibrated, have you checked its accuracy over a range of temps with a decent mercury thermometer for instance?

The temperature always varies depending where you are, on the Limassol seafront at midnight, the car registered 5C, when i reached home it registered 7C. A friend told me that on Ayios Athanasios they registered a -2C.
I wonder how much was up in Apeshia, Kalo Chorio and Platres.

Get Real -' I've got an external temperature sensor feeding data into a PC'

Wouldn't mind a bit more gen. on this set up GR.

It is in Athalassa Park, so away from heavily built up areas that retain the heat.

Yes, that would explain diffs... well away from the concrete.

For those with an interest in amateur weather recording/forecasting, have a look at this site, set up by a chap with a weather station in a village a few miles south of Nic.

Have a look at the section on micro-climates to explain temperature diffs even within a single village...

Is it rather secret?

It’s an amateur electronics kit extended/modified for data acquisition via the RS232 port under custom written DOS software that I did ages ago.
