With hot weather across the North West this week, make sure you stay hydrated.

Dehydration means your body loses more fluids than you take in, and children and older adults are more at risk.

If it's not treated, it can become a serious problem.

Help keep vulnerable people safe in the heat 🌞

Stay out of the direct sun, especially during the hottest part of the day, between 11am and 3pm, as UV rays are strongest during these hours.

Drink plenty of fluids and avoid excess alcohol during the hot weather. 🫗

UV can damage your skin and increase the risk of skin cancer, but it also helps your body produce vitamin D. So it’s all about enjoying the sunshine safely when UV levels are high.
