Cyprus is set for another hot day as temperatures are expected to climb to around 38 °C inland, with further increases likely in the coming days as the heatwave intensifies across the island.

Temperatures will rise to around 38 °C in inland areas, about 31 °C along the coasts and around 28 °C in higher mountainous regions.
On Sunday, conditions will remain mostly clear with occasional cloud development. Isolated showers are expected again in the mountains during the afternoon hours.
On Monday, the weather will remain mostly clear with periods of local cloud cover.
On Tuesday, conditions will stay mainly clear.
