If you're still waiting for typical, uninterrupted August heat, hold onto your sunhats. The unstable air mass isn't ready to pack its bags just yet. While inland temperatures are keeping well clear of punishing temperatures for another day, midday cloud cover is set to bring another round of localized summer storms.
Expect a sunny start across the island, followed by afternoon cloud buildups, scattered rain showers, isolated thunderstorms, and even a chance of hail, mostly over the Troodos range and central inland areas.
Here is how today's temperatures break down across the region:
Inland plains: Reaches a very comfortable 34°C.
West and southwest coasts: Sitting pretty as the coolest shoreline at 30°C.
Remaining coastlines: Resting right around 32°C.
Higher Troodos Mountains: A fresh 25°C (keep an eye out for afternoon storm clouds over the peaks).
Morning winds start light and variable up to 3 Beaufort before shifting southwesterly to northwesterly at 3 to 4 Beaufort. By late afternoon, or during any active thunderstorms, windward coasts will see a temporary surge with gusts hitting a strong Force 5. The sea will gradually become slightly rough.
Tonight, skies clear out for most of the island tonight, though localized patches of low cloud cover will hang around the western half. Winds start westerly to northwesterly at a light to moderate 3 to 4 Beaufort before easing back to a light 3 Beaufort flow. Waters in the west and north will remain slightly rough, while remaining coasts settle to calm or slightly rough.
Late-week outlook
Wednesday: Mostly clear mornings give way to afternoon cloudiness with isolated mountain and inland showers or a brief thunderstorm. Temperatures remain stable.
Thursday and Friday: Uninterrupted sunshine makes a full comeback across all districts.
Highs will climb noticeably by Friday, pushing temperatures back above normal seasonal averages just in time for the weekend.
