19 July 2024: There is a Yellow Heat Alert in place for much of the UK over the coming days. Here are some useful tips to stay safe and cool:
- If you have neighbours or relatives who live alone or coping with health issues visit or phone to check that they are ok.
- Stay inside during the hottest time of the day – 11am to 3pm.
- When inside, try to keep your house cool.
- Have cool baths or showers and splash yourself with cool water.
- Change the timings of activities to avoid the hottest part of the day.
- Stay hydrated drink lots of water throughout the day even if you aren’t thirsty.
- Eat normally but try to have more cold foods.
- Check for weather forecasts and temperature warnings on TV, radio and online at www.metoffice.gov.uk
- Know the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heatstroke and what to do if you or someone else has them.
