π Heatwave Advice: Stay Safe in Hot Weather π
The hot weather can affect anyone, but older adults, young children, pregnant women, and people with long-term health conditions are at greater risk.
To help keep yourself well during the heatwave:
π§ Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day but avoid alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks.
π Stay indoors or in the shade during the hottest part of the day (11amβ3pm).
π Wear loose, light-coloured clothing and a hat when outside.
π§΄ Use sunscreen and reapply regularly.
βοΈ Keep your home cool by closing curtains or blinds in rooms that face the sun.
π Check on elderly relatives, neighbours, and anyone who may need extra support.
Seek medical advice if you feel unwell with symptoms such as dizziness, headache, nausea, confusion, or difficulty breathing.
For urgent medical advice when we are closed, please contact NHS 111. In a medical emergency, call 999.
Stay cool, stay hydrated, and take care of yourself and others. βοΈ
