Cyprus issues yellow heatwave warnings as temperatures reach 40 degrees Celsius

The Cyprus Department of Meteorology has issued multiple yellow weather warnings due to persistent high temperatures affecting the region. Influenced by seasonal low pressure and warm air masses, inland temperatures are forecast to reach approximately 40 degrees Celsius. These alerts have been systematically scheduled to cover the peak heat hours, typically from 14:00 to 16:30, throughout the final days of July 2026.

Authorities advise citizens to exercise caution and take necessary precautions to avoid exposure to extreme heat, as temperatures are expected to remain above seasonal climate averages through the end of the week. While coastal and mountainous areas will experience slightly lower temperatures, the inland regions will continue to face intense heat, with officials confirming that conditions are not expected to show significant changes in the immediate future. The meteorological services continue to monitor the situation and provide updated daily guidance for the public.
