EXTREME HEAT EVERY AUGUST IN CYPRUS
The meteorological service issues red alerts for heat-induced weather every August in Cyprus. Inland temperatures often hit +45°C at this time, and although most people enjoy the weather, others frequently struggle through the heat.
Here are some tips to help keep cool during the summer
☀️ Drawing curtains and closing blinds will not allow the sun in, helping to keep rooms cooler.
☀️ Avoid staying outdoors for long periods.
☀️ Avoid travelling between 11 am and 4 pm.
☀️ Refrain from physical outdoor activity.
☀️ Only perform exercise in the early morning or late evening.
☀️ Stay hydrated and avoid sugary or alcoholic drinks.
☀️ Switch to lighter meals and eat more fruit.
☀️ Wear light, loose-fitting clothes made from natural fabrics in pale colours.
☀️ Take shorter, more regular showers instead of a bath.
