**Cyprus Temperatures Set to Soar to 38°C Amid Seasonal Low Pressure**
*Larnaca, Cyprus – September 6, 2026*
The Meteorological Service of Cyprus has issued a warning as temperatures are expected to rise significantly this Sunday, reaching as high as 38°C inland. This spike in temperature is attributed to a seasonal low-pressure system affecting the region.
The forecast indicates that the weather will be predominantly clear throughout the day, although there may be periods of local cloud cover. Winds are expected to start off light and variable, measuring around 3 Beaufort, before shifting to a south-westerly to north-westerly direction. As the day progresses, wind speeds are anticipated to increase to light to moderate levels, reaching between 3 to 4 Beaufort. In exposed coastal areas, winds may become temporarily fresh, gusting up to 5 Beaufort in the afternoon.
Coastal temperatures will also be notably warm, with readings expected to hit around 32°C in the western regions and approximately 34°C along the rest of the coastline. For those in the higher mountainous areas, temperatures will be cooler, dropping to about 28°C.
As night falls, the weather is predicted to remain predominantly clear, although there may be intermittent low cloud cover. Winds during the night will predominantly blow from the north-west at light to moderate speeds of 3 to 4 Beaufort, over slightly rough seas. Overnight temperatures are expected to drop to 23°C inland, 26°C along the west coast, around 24°C on other coastal areas, and 19°C in the higher mountains.
This weather pattern is part of a broader seasonal trend that often brings fluctuations in temperature and conditions across the island. As Cyprus continues to experience these high temperatures, residents and visitors are advised to take necessary precautions, especially when engaging in outdoor activities.
The rise in temperatures coincides with the peak tourist season in Cyprus, which attracts many visitors to its beautiful beaches and historical sites. Local businesses in the tourism sector are likely to benefit from the warm weather, although they must also be mindful of the potential health risks associated with extreme heat.
As the island prepares for the hot weather, authorities encourage the public to stay hydrated, wear appropriate clothing, and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun during peak hours.
With the forecast indicating a continuation of warm weather, residents are reminded to remain vigilant and take care of their health as temperatures soar.
