We’ve got some top tips for you to plan ahead and beat the heat this summer.
- Stay hydrated – water and diluted squash or lower fat milks are good choices.
- Store your medication safely – most medicines should be stored below 25 degrees.
- If you or someone you care for is hot, sponge or spray cool water or use cold packs to cool things down.
- Eat later in the evening – consider eating cold food like ice lollies during the day to keep you hydrated.
- Open doors and windows in the early mornings and overnight when it’s cooler.
- Use air fans if the temperature is below 35 °C (95°F). Higher than that you will just be moving hot air around.
