**37 Degrees Before Temperature Drop on Saturday in Cyprus**
*Cyprus – September 4, 2026*
As the summer season begins to wind down, Cyprus is experiencing a significant rise in temperatures, with forecasts indicating a peak of 37 degrees Celsius inland on Friday. The Department of Meteorology has reported that while the day will start off mainly clear, clouds are expected to develop in the afternoon, potentially bringing rain or thunderstorms, particularly in mountainous or inland areas. In the event of storms, hail may also occur.
On the coastal fronts, temperatures are predicted to reach 31 degrees Celsius on the west coast and 33 degrees Celsius on the remaining coasts. In contrast, the mountainous regions will see cooler temperatures, with highs around 26 degrees Celsius. Winds will predominantly blow from the southwest to northwest at speeds of 3 to 4 Beaufort, creating slight sea conditions.
As night falls, the weather is expected to remain mostly clear, although there may be increased cloudiness along the coasts. Winds will calm to about 3 Beaufort, and the sea will remain calm to slight, providing a tranquil evening for residents and visitors alike.
Looking ahead to Saturday, the forecast predicts a slight drop in temperatures. Clouds will begin to form after noon, with the possibility of isolated rain or thunderstorms in inland and mountainous areas. Again, hail is a potential hazard during these storms. Following Saturday, the weather is expected to clear up on Sunday and Monday, with temperatures gradually rising again, likely remaining above average for this time of year.
In related news, the weather is not the only topic of discussion in Cyprus. Recent headlines include a court ruling that overturned a benefit cut for a young woman born with one eye, and reports of toxic haze from wildfires in Indonesia spreading to neighboring countries.
As the island prepares for these weather changes, residents are advised to stay informed about the forecast and take necessary precautions, especially in areas prone to storms.
