Following a period of seasonal low pressure and unseasonal rainfall that caused brief relief from previous heat, Cyprus is bracing for a new heatwave. As of July 26, the country experienced temporary cooling, with July precipitation reaching 215% of the long-term average, totaling 5.6 millimeters. Local meteorologists reported isolated showers, particularly in mountainous and southeastern regions, alongside moderate to strong winds.

Iasonas Christodoulou of the Department of Meteorology has warned of a significant temperature rise starting Tuesday, July 28. While inland temperatures are expected to reach approximately 38 degrees Celsius on Monday, they are forecasted to exceed 40 degrees from Tuesday through Thursday. Projections suggest peak values could reach 41 to 42 degrees Celsius by mid-week, marking a return to extreme summer conditions. Citizens are advised to monitor official updates as the country moves beyond the recent unstable, rainy weather pattern back into a period of intense heat.
