A heatwave in Cyprus is on the way with the temperature over the coming weekend expected to rise to 40 degrees centigrade.
At the same time, a thick layer of dust covering the sky is not excluded, according to the Meteorological Service.
The Service’s Kleanthis Nicolaides told Philenews: “Today (Wednesday) the temperature will rise to 37 degrees Celsius inland, around 31 degrees in coastal areas and 27 degrees Celsius over the mountains. An upward trend will continue up until the weekend.
