😎🏜 Stay cool, stay safe 🏖🏝

The heat is on — here’s how to cope during the current heatwave:

💧 Drink plenty of fluids – even if you’re not thirsty.
🕶 Stay in the shade during the hottest parts of the day (11am–3pm).
🏠 Keep your home cool – close curtains and windows in direct sunlight.
👒 Dress for the weather – light, loose clothing and a hat.
🤒 Check in on vulnerable people – elderly neighbours, young children, and those with health conditions.

A yellow and amber heat alert has been issued across parts of England today. Remember that vulnerable people are more at risk from higher temperatures.

Keep hydrated, remember your sunscreen, and visit the NHS website for helpful advice.
