Cyprus summer heat wave August 2026

Entities: Thodoris Kolydas · Greece · Cyprus · Greek Meteorological Service · Aegean Sea

Overview

The early August heat wave persisted, with interior temperatures in Greece projected to reach 40 °C and coastal highs of 38‑39 °C across the mainland and islands. Strong meltemi winds of 6‑7 Beaufort over the Aegean raised wildfire risk, especially in western mainland, the Cyclades and the southern Peloponnese. A yellow heat warning was issued for Thursday, and forecasters expected the heat to intensify over the weekend, with the highest values anticipated in Central Macedonia, the Yannis area, Larissa and the Argos region. In Cyprus, inland temperatures were also expected to climb toward 40 °C, accompanied by northerly breezes. Meteorologists Olga Papavgoulli, Christina Rigo and Thodoris Kolydas warned that the combination of extreme heat, dry air and strong winds created a “dangerous cocktail” for rapid fire spread. Residents were again advised to limit outdoor activity during peak heat hours and follow fire‑danger alerts.
