Daily Brief

Today peaked at 42.5°C at Athalassa, and the night before offered little relief — 22 stations never dropped below 25°C. No rain anywhere.

Tomorrow turns hotter still: the Department of Meteorology has an orange high-temperature warning for 12:00–16:59, with inland areas expected around 44°C. Nicosia heads for 42°C (feels like 43°C), Polis Chrysochous 39°C but feeling like 44°C, Limassol 35°C (feels 40°C), Larnaca 36°C, Paphos 33°C, Paralimni 34°C; Troodos stays milder at 31°C. Tonight stays warm too — minimums not below 28°C inland and 26°C on the coasts. UV reaches 8–9, and dust edges up to 50–59 µg/m³, so sensitive groups should limit time outdoors.

The sea remains ideal at 28–30°C, calm everywhere.

Another hot, dry day, and inland it turns hotter still tomorrow. Nicosia reaches 41°C this afternoon and about 43°C on Thursday, so move errands and exercise to the early morning. Coastal highs are lower — 35°C in Limassol, 36°C in Larnaca, 32°C in Paphos — but humidity pushes the feel to 39–42°C, and Polis Chrysochous feels like 44°C. Troodos stays mildest at 30°C.

Nights bring little relief: 22 of 54 stations logged a tropical night, with lowland lows of 25–27°C. UV peaks at 8–9, so favour shade around midday. Dust is set to rise over the next two days, with PM10 peaking near 52 over the high ground — sensitive groups should take it easy outdoors.

The sea is warm and calm: around 29°C at Latchi and Paphos, 27°C off Limassol, with waves of half a metre at most. Tomorrow: much the same on the coast, hotter inland — Polis up to 40°C.
