Beat the Heat - Stay Well This Summer!

To help you beat the heat and stay well this summer, please follow this advice from the UK Health Security Agency (UK HSA):

● Look out for vulnerable neighbours including older people and young children especially those who have an
underlying health issue such as asthma or a heart condition.
● Drink plenty of fluid particularly water, aiming for at least two litres a day. Avoid alcohol, caffeine or hot drinks.
● Dress appropriately and cover up including wearing a hat and sunglasses.
● Avoid the heat as much as possible and limit going out during the hottest part of the day (11am – 3pm).
● Wear sunscreen with a minimum sun protection factor of SP15.
● Follow the weather updates and advice on keeping well.
● Find ways to keep homes cool including closing windows that are exposed to the sun during the day, and opening
windows at night when the temperature has dropped.
