Here are some practical tips on how to stay cool and cope with hot weather:

• look out for others, especially older people, young children and babies and those with underlying health conditions
• shade or cover windows that are exposed to direct sunlight during the day, and open windows at night when the temperature has dropped
• drink plenty of water as sugary, alcoholic and caffeinated drinks, including tea and coffee, can make you more dehydrated
• never leave anyone in a closed, parked vehicle, especially infants, young children or animals
• try to keep out of the sun between 11am to 3pm
• walk in the shade, apply sunscreen and wear a hat, if you have to go out in the heat
• avoid physical exertion in the hottest parts of the day
• wear light, loose fitting cotton clothes
• make sure you take water with you if you are travelling
