THE 24-hour ‘cool down’ centre Nicosia Municipality equipped with air-conditioners and generators to provide a safe heaven during the recent heatwave has now been closed because of the drop in temperature.

But if the heat returns with a vengeance the centre will open its doors once again.

The centre helped several ill and elderly people when temperatures soared over the 44-degree mark two weeks ago and there were lengthy electricity cuts because of too high a demand for power.
