Hot weather advice

29 June, 2009

The Met Office has warned that the hot weather could continue for some time.

 

You can get forecast information from the Met Office website.

 

 

Sun safety

It is very important to stay safe in the sun. Here are some simple tips to staying cool and safe:

  • Avoid going out in the hottest part of the day (11am-3pm).

  • Avoid strenuous outdoor activity, like sport, DIY, or gardening.

  • If you go outside, stay in the shade.

  • Wear a hat and light, loose-fitting clothes, preferably cotton.

  • Close the curtains in rooms that get a lot of sun.

  • Take cool showers or baths, and splash yourself several times a day with cold water, particularly your face and the back of your neck.

  • Drink regularly even if you do not feel thirsty – water and fruit juice are best.

  • Avoid tea, coffee and alcohol as they can cause dehydration.

Contact your doctor, a pharmacist or NHS Direct (0845 4647) if you’re worried about your health during a heatwave, especially if you are taking medication, or have any unusual symptoms.
