The “Cleon” heatwave is expected to hit Cyprus from Thursday, with temperatures hitting as high as 42 degrees.
The heatwave previously impacted southern France, southern Italy and the islands of Sardinia and Corsica.
Met office director Kleanthis Nicolaides said the heatwave is set to last in Cyprus until Saturday, and that it will also impact much of Greece.
He added that the heatwave had been given a name as it is affecting a large area of the Mediterranean, and that the name was taken from a prepared list agreed by the Met offices of Cyprus, Greece, and Occupied Palestine.
People in Nicosia wishing to shelter from the heat will be able to visit the Municipality’s heat shelter at the municipal multipurpose centre near the Famagusta Gate in the walled city.
The centre will be open on Thursday and Friday between 9am and 6pm, and will remain open on Saturday and Sunday if the heatwave continues to impact Cyprus.
