It will boil Cyprus today with the Met Office issuing an extremely high temperature warning. Today from 11:00-16:00 the maximum temperature will be around 40 degrees Celsius.
It is noted that yesterday the temperature also fluctuated at 40 degrees in the interior, at 34 degrees in the south, east and north coasts and around 30 degrees in the west coasts as well as in the higher mountains.
Protection instructions
The Ministry of Health of Cyprus has issued instructions for heat protection measures, highlighting what should be avoided and what should be preferred.
- Avoid exposure and activities in sunlight especially between the hours of 11 am. – 4 p.m. It is better to stay in a cool part of the house or outside in the shade. Activities are best avoided.
- We avoid “heavy” foods and prefer light ones.
- Avoid exposing the face to the sun and use hats and umbrellas.
- We use sunscreen cream at least half an hour before exposure to the sun.
- NO to alcoholic drinks YES to water and juices.
- We avoid clothes that bring discomfort. We prefer comfortable clothes with light colors.
- We do not leave infants and small children exposed to increased sunlight, but we constantly take care of them.
- We never leave children alone in a closed car or other closed vehicle. The temperature inside the car can quickly become much higher than the outside temperature and continue to rise to lethal temperatures.
- We avoid hot closed spaces without good ventilation and prefer spaces with air conditioners and fans and certainly with very good ventilation.
- We make sure that our house is “cooled” with the morning and evening air and we protect it from the hot weather helium with windows.
- Cool water in the body helps to reduce the temperature.
