Cyprus weather authorities issue yellow warnings as temperatures reach 41 degrees Celsius

The Cyprus Department of Meteorology has issued a series of yellow weather warnings as an ongoing heatwave continues to impact the region. Starting on July 30, 2026, temperatures in inland areas have consistently reached 40°C, prompting daily alerts between 14:00 and 17:00 or 16:30, depending on the day. Seasonal low pressure is the primary meteorological factor behind these persistent, above-average thermal conditions.

For August 1, 2026, authorities have issued a new alert (No. 42) forecasting that inland temperatures will rise further to 41°C, with mountain temperatures expected to reach 32°C. Coastal temperatures have generally fluctuated between 33°C and 36°C. Meteorologists confirm that the island will remain under these hot conditions through the weekend, with clear skies persisting and no significant relief expected in the short term. Officials advise the public to take necessary precautions against the heat while they monitor the situation closely to ensure safety.
