A low pressure system and warm air currents continue to affect the Eastern Mediterranean, bringing more scorching weather across most of the island, as temperatures are expected to remain in the over 40s over the next three days.
The Meteorology Department has issued yet another yellow extreme heat alert, the 3rd in a row, from 12 noon until four in the afternoon tomorrow, with the health ministry and Labour inspection department issuing relevant protection recommendations.
Vulnerable groups, particularly children, the elderly and individuals with long term illnesses are advised to stay indoors unless absolutely necessary, for the duration of the warning.
So sweltering conditions tomorrow, inland for the most part, with low cloud forming in coastal regions and the possibility of isolated showers on the mountains in the afternoon.
Winds will initially be light variable, force three, later turning light to moderate southwesterly to northwesterly force three to four and in eastern coastal regions, strong force four to five, over calm to slight seas.
Temperatures will rise to 41 degrees Celsius inland, 33 in western and southwestern coastal regions, 35 in the rest of the coastal areas and 31 on the mountains.
The heatwave is set to persist, with temperatures higher than the seasonal average spilling into early next week.
