Cyprus: Workers Endure Heatwave Despite Orange Alert

Despite the orange alert for high temperatures, many workers in Cyprus continue to work outdoors. Although the ban on work between 12:00 and 16:00 does not apply to all workplaces, efforts are being made to take short breaks and avoid sun exposure.

Workers in catering, parking lots, and others face difficult weather conditions daily. As a waiter told Omega Channel, the conditions are difficult due to the temperature and humidity, especially outdoors, and asks for understanding from the public. A delivery driver also mentioned the difficulties they face due to the heat.

At the same time, many citizens chose Mackenzie Beach in Larnaca to cool off, defying the high temperatures. Despite the heat, the beaches remain a popular destination for seeking coolness.

Whether working or seeking coolness, the discomfort due to the heat is noticeable to all.
