He added that temperatures may rise by one degree on Wednesday and Thursday, peaking at 38-39°C, and could approach 40°C inland by the weekend.
Georgiou underlined that extreme temperatures like the recent 45°C are not expected.
When asked if an accurate forecast for the week starting 24 August is possible, despite the usual uncertainties, he said temperatures are expected to decline but a clearer picture will emerge by mid-week.
Regarding isolated rain over the mountains, he said that possibility has now diminished.
