WITH the mercury set to hit a sweltering 40C, much of the island is basking in sizzling conditions.
The scorching sunshine and cloudless skies come as another heat wave arrived in Cyprus on Thursday.
The weather was so warm that even the President of the European Commission Jean Claude Juncker opted to take off his shirt and tie during an official visit to the capital Nicosia.
The glorious conditions are set to last throughout the weekend, with coastal areas touching between 33oC – 35oC.
Turkish Cypriot news outlets reported temperatures had reached 41C in the north Thursday lunchtime.
However, the dry air and strong sun could also create a fire danger with conditions ripe for wildfires.
The heat could have health impacts, causing dehydration and exhaustion, particularly in people over age 65, infants and young children, people with medical conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, asthma or respiratory conditions.
People who have been consuming caffeine or alcohol are also at a higher risk of dehydration, public health officials said.
