Tips on keeping cool in hot weather

To help you stay safe and comfortable during hot weather, follow these key recommendations from UK health authorities:

Sun & heat safety

Avoid peak hours: UV rays are strongest between 11 am and 3 pm. Schedule your errands, gardening, and physical exercise for the early morning or late evening.
Dress appropriately: Wear light-colored, loose-fitting cotton clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
Sunscreen: Apply a high-factor sunscreen (at least SPF 30) and reapply it regularly, especially after sweating.

Staying cool indoors

Block the sun: Keep blinds and curtains closed during the day to prevent direct sunlight from heating your home.
Ventilate at night: Open your windows in the evening and overnight when the outside air drops below the indoor temperature.
Cool down: Take cool baths or showers, or apply a damp cloth to your neck and wrists to help regulate your body temperature.

Hydration & health

Drink regularly: Keep hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty
