Hot weather is forecast across the Vale. ☀️

Enjoy the warm weather and stay sun safe by following these tips:
• spend time in the shade between 11am and 3pm
• cover up with suitable clothing and sunglasses
• take extra care with children
• use at least factor 30 sunscreen
• look out for those who may struggle to keep cool and hydrated - older people, those with underlying health conditions and those who live alone are particularly at risk

Be aware that some common medicines can make your skin much more likely to burn, even in mild sunshine. This includes some antibiotics, diuretics, antidepressants, or skin treatments for acne or eczema.

Please remember that your Community Pharmacy can help with a number of heat-related conditions and hay fever.

We are open today 9am-5.30pm.
