**Cyprus, September 10, 2026** – The Department of Meteorology has announced that temperatures across Cyprus are expected to soar to 37 degrees Celsius on Thursday, September 10, 2026. This heat wave is attributed to a weak high-pressure system that is currently influencing the weather patterns in the region.
The forecast indicates that the day will start with mainly clear skies. However, as the day progresses, increased cloudiness is anticipated, particularly during the noon and early afternoon hours. While the majority of the island will experience dry conditions, there is a possibility of brief isolated rain showers in the mountainous areas due to the increased cloud cover.
Winds are expected to be moderate, initially blowing at 3 Beaufort and later shifting to a southwest to northwest direction, increasing to 3 to 4 Beaufort. Coastal areas along the south are likely to experience stronger winds, ranging from 4 to 5 Beaufort. The sea conditions will remain slight throughout the day.
In terms of temperature distribution, the inland areas will be the hottest, reaching a peak of 37 degrees Celsius. Coastal regions will experience slightly cooler temperatures, with the southern and eastern coasts expected to reach around 33 degrees, while the northern and western coasts will see highs of 31 degrees. The mountainous regions will be the coolest, with temperatures around 27 degrees Celsius.
As night falls, the weather is predicted to remain mainly clear, although there may be temporary low clouds. Early morning hours could see the formation of light fog or mist, particularly in inland and southeastern areas. Winds will continue to blow at 3 to 4 Beaufort, coming from the northwest to northeast, and the sea will remain slight.
Looking ahead to Friday and the weekend, the weather is expected to remain predominantly clear, with occasional increases in cloudiness during midday hours. Temperatures are forecasted to gradually rise, continuing to hover above the seasonal average.
Residents and visitors are advised to take precautions against the heat, especially during the peak afternoon hours. Staying hydrated and avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight is recommended.
This weather update comes amidst a backdrop of various events in Cyprus, including the recent passing of popular Greek singer Giorgos Mazonakis at the age of 54, and the ongoing 4th Cyprus Choreography Showcase, which highlights the island's vibrant cultural scene.
