The Cyprus met office on Friday said that a gradual temperature rise is expected over the weekend which will reach 39 degrees Celsius on Monday and Tuesday, four degrees higher than the seasonal average.

Temperatures during the weekend are expected to rise to 37C and 38C, a degree higher than Friday, the met office said adding that this temperature increase will create conditions experienced in a heatwave.
