Keeping cool in the heat

Hello All,

One of the most effective ways to keep cool in this heat is to drink plenty of water throughout the day. It is important to wear the correct types of clothes such as pale clothing and not dark clothing. In addition, wearing sunglasses and sun hat is vital as it can keep people cool. 

Try to limit taking part in outdoor activities. Typically the hottest part of the days would be anytime from 10am till 4pm. Children, older adults and those with underlying health conditions should take extra care to avoid overheating. It is important to take regular refreshment breaks. 

Keeping cool indoors can involve putting the blinds down. Open windows in early morning and late evening to allow cooler air to circulate. If possible, use a fan to improve airflow, and consider placing a bowl of ice in front of it for a cooling effect.

Have a good day!
