Tuesday is the most likely day this week for widespread severe weather in Cyprus, Department of Meteorology officer Tasos Koulentis said. He added that forecasters would wait for further data before deciding whether to issue a warning.
Rain or a thunderstorm is possible tonight, mainly in coastal areas. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will be unstable, with cloud building gradually after midday and some rain and thunderstorms, he said.
Thursday and Friday will be mostly fine, with some cloud in places. Temperatures will rise slightly through Friday but stay a little below normal for the time of year.
