If you have to go outside, stay in the shade especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen, a hat and light clothes, and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter. Wear a hat and light clothes. Keep out of the heat if you can. If hot weather hits this summer, make sure it does not harm you or anyone you know. The main risks posed by a heatwave are: not drinking enough water, overheating, which can make symptoms worse for people who already have problems with their heart or breathing, heat exhaustion and heatstroke. Cool yourself down. Have cold food and drinks, avoid alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks, and have a cool shower or put cool water on your skin or clothes.
