CYPRUS is returning to more familiar temperatures today as the summer's first major heatwave draws to a close.

Sun worshippers across much of the island, who have basked in temperatures as high as 41oC for the last few days, won’t be disappointed though as the warm sunny conditions continue.

The three-day heatwave was the first prolonged spell over 40oC so far this summer.

Emergency services said the period was remarkably quiet, with only a handful of heat stroke cases reported - despite code orange and yellow warnings being issued.

Nicosia saw the hottest weather in the country yesterday (42C), while across the south temperatures generally stayed in the mid 30s.
