going to paphos on sunday and cannot wait,we are at the laura beach ,,so am i right in saying it will be a little cooler on beach front??

Not at the moment, just got back from Coral Bay..

get there sat night, cant wait, although scarily the bbc site say rain sunday and monday, surely this cant be true!! never seen rain in july over in 5 visits!

wunderground looks fine though!

Absolutely no chance of any rain, I despair with the BBC they never get the weather right, but I have to say I wish on this account they were correct, we will not have rain here now until mid October, have to say we are very short of water on the island in fact it is desperate, we have had little fresh water in our village for sometime now, and our Muchtar (Mayor) forecast a dire summer with many water cuts, good job we all have 500 gallon water tanks on the roof, you will notice these when you are out and about..

check this link out to an accurate weather station...

As suspected the BBC were wrong, so Micheal Fish is back then weather at the moment is perfect a lot cooler than recent weeks but still warm 85c average at the moment, warmer in the sun..

85C

Yes my weather station in the shade (as it should be) was at it's highest yesterday at 29c (85f) in my opinion far better than last weeks horribly high temp's. with a light breeze, perfect.

Travel agent has just told us they have had fires in The Troodos Mountains ?

(oh hello by the way... not been on for a while, not been thinking about holidays, had a lot on...)

Steve it is not just in the hills, we are having a heat wave all areas are effected by this heat, there are many fire outbreaks, we had a very dry winter it is critical here the lack of water, the helicopters are often flying over with there water bucks swinging in the wind..awesome sight..and thank god for them, they do a great job.

Only last weekend in our village the fire fighting hellies were dropping water on us!!!

blinking eck !!!

Is there much damage being done?.. is there any problem with water, showers, beer etc ??

Not in the tourist area's Steve...as yet!

It's perfect weather here on the east of the island.

A bit windy but lovely.

Its a pity about the damage thats being caused by the heat, but on the other hand we in the UK are getting major damage by floods at the moment...!
