Meteorologist Andreas Chrysanthou told Cyprus radio that a weak high-pressure system is currently in place, while a warm air mass will gradually begin affecting the island starting Wednesday.
Temperatures are expected to rise well above seasonal averages, with highs reaching over 30 degrees Celsius over the weekend.
