Yellow weather warning for Monday

There is no respite from the heat in Cyprus as the met office issued a yellow weather warning for Monday due to extreme temperatures.

Inlands, the temperature is expected to reach 40C and 32C in the mountains, on Monday. The temperature in south, east and north coasts is expected to be around 35C and around 31C in west coasts.

The warning said vulnerable groups such as elderly people and young children face more health risks due to the heat.

Temperatures are expected to gradually begin decreasing on Tuesday, and will continue to do so until Thursday.

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.
