Met issues weather warning

The met office issued a yellow warning for Saturday’s temperature expected to reach a peak temperature of 41C.

The warning is valid from 12pm to 5pm. Yellow is the mildest form of an alert concerning people at risk due to their location or activity.

On Friday, the labour ministry issued a statement advising employees –particularly those working outdoors – to take measures to protect themselves from the heat, including the possibility of periods of rest or putting a halt to their work for the day.

The weather is expected to be sunny on Saturday with sparse dust while on Sunday, temperatures are expected to abate with a slight decrease but will continue to be sunny.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
