Tips for you:

- Drink water (sugary drinks no no) and lots of it.
- Suncream (everywhere your skin is exposed) and apply it every two hours.
- Shade, if possible.
- Run cold water over your wrists or a cold cloth on them will cool you down.
- Wear a sun hat if you have one (I know they don’t look cool but it might save your life).
- Wear loose clothing.

Tips for your pets:
- Provide extra water and change it regularly for cold water
- Provide shelter/shade
- Take caution if walking dogs on the pavement (they can get super hot and will burn their feet, test it with your hand/foot first)
- Cold damp towel to lie on
- Ice in water or to eat or cold foods they are allowed

The signs of heat exhaustion include:
- headache
- dizziness and confusion
- loss of appetite and feeling sick
- excessive sweating and pale clammy skin
- cramps in the arms, legs and stomach
- fast breathing or pulse
- temperature of 37C or above
- intense thirst
The symptoms are often the same in adults and children, although children may become floppy and sleepy.
Heat exhaustion can lead to heat stroke if left untreated.
If suspected : Move to a cool area, remove excess clothing, drink lots of water, lie down and raise feet slightly, cool skin (sponge or spray) particularly armpits and neck.
If no improvement after 30 minutes, temp over 40c, confused, shortness of breath, dial 999!

Please please stay safe and be careful.

Open your windows right after it rained outside, the air is much cooler then.

Open ALL the windows in the morning, the earlier, the better. I recommend 6am in the morning if it’s possible.

Whenever you leave your house, close all your curtains (or anything else that covers your window).

I know it really sucks but wear long but loose clothing since it will protect you from excessive sunburn. (Ppl in hot countries do that)

Drink hot drinks if you don’t suffer from a heat stroke already. Best thing to drink is tea. It doesn’t have to be cooking hot but it should be warmer. (Also a thing ppl in hot countries do, like Saudi Arabia and stuff)

DON’T shower with cold water, ESPECIALLY not when you have sunburn! It is bad for your skin and the temperature difference is VERY irritating for your body. (It left my mom unconscious once) Try to shower with the water temperature roughly as warm as it is outside. It will get your body used to the temperature.

Try to avoid going outside from 12pm-2pm. Very high uv concentration.

It won’t be the hottest at noon, but in the afternoon around 3-4pm because the heat kind of accumulates, so be prepared.

Always carry around one litre of water with you, that’s the most important! Not only for yourself, but for kids and other people in need too.

One last tip: if you need shade or cover, churches are always pretty cool inside because they’re made of so much stone.
