Daily Brief

Cyprus peaked at 39.2°C today, the island's high recorded at Athalassa, while a stifling night left 13 stations unable to drop below 20°C — a widespread tropical night. No station reported rain over the past day.

Tomorrow, Nicosia sees the most change: a cooler 34°C high but an 80% chance of rain, with feels-like still reaching a muggy 39°C. Limassol and Larnaca stay dry and warm, both around 32-34°C, Polis Chrysochous close behind at 33°C. Paphos is the coolest coastal spot at 29°C, and Troodos offers real relief at 25°C by day, dropping to 15°C overnight. UV stays at a high index of 8 across the island, so plan outdoor time around the midday sun.

The sea stays warm and swimmable, with Larnaca and Paphos both near 29.6°C and light waves under a metre along most coasts.

Cyprus wakes up to another hot day, with thirteen of the fifty-three reporting stations logging a tropical night that never cooled below 20°C. Nicosia and Polis Chrysochous lead the heat, climbing to 37°C and feeling like 39°C in the afternoon sun — the toughest spots for outdoor plans today.

The coast trades a few degrees for humidity: Limassol, Larnaca and Paralimni & Protaras all top out near 33°C, feeling like 37-38°C, while Paphos stays the mildest lowland spot at 30°C. Troodos is the real escape, capping at 26°C. UV peaks at a very high 8 everywhere, so shade and sunscreen are worth planning around.

Sea temperatures stay firmly in swimming range, from 27.1°C off Limassol to a bath-warm 29.2°C off Larnaca.

Relief is on the way tomorrow: Nicosia eases to 34°C and Polis Chrysochous to 32°C, with most coastal towns two to three degrees cooler than today.
