Well, look who decided to grace us with their presence today! I suppose the beach was full, or maybe you just ran out of sunburn lotion. Either way, welcome back to the daily weather grind, and boy, do I have a deal for you today.
Look, I didn’t ask for this weather any more than you did, but here we are. Thursday opens with mostly clear skies across this glorious sandtrap of an island. That unstable air mass that’s been dropping surprise rain showers on your head for the last three days is finally taking the hint and getting out of town.
Expect sunshine all day, sprinkled with just enough passing clouds to give you false hope for shade. Central plains are topping out at a piping-hot 38°C, or as I like to call it, medium-rare.
Here is how today's thermal misery is distributed:
Inland plains: Reaches around 38°C. Bring a fork, you're done.
West and north coasts: Clocking in at a reasonable 32°C.
South and east coasts: Resting around a cozy 35°C.
Higher Troodos Mountains: Sitting at 28°C. Still the only place on this island where you won't melt into a puddle.
Morning winds start light and variable at Force 3, just enough breeze to blow away your paper boat. By afternoon, the wind shifts southwesterly to northwesterly at 3 to 4 Beaufort, while the southwestern coast gets slapped with temporary Force 4 to 5 gusts. The sea remains calm to slightly rough, which is more than I can say for my mother-in-law.
Skies stay mostly clear tonight, though low clouds will drift along the coastline like late guests who don't know when the party's over. Winds shift northwesterly to northeasterly at a sleepy Force 3. The sea settles down to calm or slightly rough, perfect for a nighttime dip, assuming you can swim.
Friday: The weather gets even sunnier, and temperatures take another slight jump up. Just what we needed.
Saturday and Sunday: Uninterrupted sunshine straight through the weekend with zero temperature drops. Highs stay comfortably above seasonal averages, which means you'll be sweating right through next week, too.
