Warm weather advice

The weather is due to get warmer again, here is some advice.

Drink plenty of water:

 Consume fluids regularly even if you do not feel thirsty.

Avoid dehydrating drinks:

 Limit alcohol, caffeine, and hot drinks which increase fluid loss.

Wear appropriate clothing: 

Choose loose, lightweight, and light-coloured clothes to reflect heat.

Apply high-factor sunscreen:

 Use a minimum of SPF 30 with good UVA protection regularly.

Protect your head and eyes:

 Wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses outside. 

Close windows and blinds: Keep them shut during daytime peaks when the outside air is hotter than inside.

Open windows at night:

 Let cooler night air circulate once the outside temperature drops.

Turn off unnecessary electronics:

 Computers, televisions, and extra lights generate additional indoor heat.

Use fans safely: 

Place a bowl of ice in front of a fan to circulate cooler air.

Thank you.
