High temperatures and humidity expected to persist across Cyprus until Wednesday
High temperatures of up to 40C and increased coastal humidity are forecast across Cyprus through at least Wednesday.
Nicosia, Cyprus. High temperatures are expected to continue across Cyprus until at least Wednesday, with increased humidity forecast, particularly in coastal areas, Meteorological Officer Matthaios Papadakis said on Saturday.
A yellow warning for high temperatures was issued for Saturday, with inland temperatures expected to reach 40C.
Forecast conditions
Papadakis said temperatures were expected to remain at roughly the same levels over the coming days, reaching around 39C to 40C on Saturday.
The weather is forecast to remain mainly clear, with similar conditions expected throughout the period until at least Wednesday.
Humidity in coastal areas
Papadakis said the combination of high temperatures and humidity could make conditions particularly difficult in some areas.
While temperatures in Nicosia may remain around 40C, higher humidity along the coast is also expected to make conditions uncomfortable, he said.
Possible developments
Asked whether the hot spell could last longer or intensify, Papadakis said there was a possibility and that developments would continue to be monitored.
He said the current conditions were similar to those experienced at the beginning of August, with temperatures slightly above normal.
