Sure, it’s still morning, and sure, the to-do list might look like it was written by a particularly vengeful project manager. But let’s not panic. There’s something in the air and no, it’s not just the 36°c day creeping in. It’s hope. Because folks, it’s Friday, and even better, it’s the 4th of July.
Yes, we’re in Cyprus, not Cincinnati, but who says geography should get in the way of grilled meats and patriotic pie? The sun is blazing, the weekend is peeking around the corner, and somewhere deep inside us all is the quiet hum of “Born in the U.S.A.” even if we were, in fact, born in Limassol.
So what if work still looms? We bide our time. We hydrate. We squint at our inboxes. And when the clock strikes 5 p.m., we rise from our ergonomic chairs, fire up the BBQ, and usher in a celebration the founding fathers would definitely endorse: hot dogs, hamburgers, and an apple pie that’s been sweating in the fridge all day.
Weather-wise, things are heating up, literally. Today’s temperatures are hitting 36°C inland and hovering around 34°C on the coast. Clouds may flirt with the mountains, but they won’t crash the party. Winds will be having a bit of an identity crisis, swinging from north to southwesterly throughout the day at 3 to 5 Beaufort. Translation: keep your napkins weighted down if you’re dining al fresco.
Tonight stays mostly clear, with the mercury dropping to a cooler 24°C inland, 17°C in the mountains, perfect for late-night stargazing or second servings.
As for the weekend? Sunshine is sticking around, and temperatures will keep climbing, reaching sizzling heights by Monday. It’s not quite Independence Day fireworks, but the weather is bringing the heat.
So grab your tongs, your sunglasses, and maybe a small fan. Today we celebrate. Not because we have to, but because we can. Happy 4th of July, Cyprus-style.
