It's About to Get Hot!!!
Stay Safe

We advise staying hydrated, avoiding strenuous activity during peak heat, and wearing loose, breathable clothing. We suggest cutting back on sugary, caffeinated, and alcoholic drinks, and keeping living spaces cool.

Key Recommendations:

Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Sun Protection: Avoid strenuous activity during peak heat (11 am to 3 pm).

Clothing: Wear loose, breathable clothing.

Cooling Down: Have cool showers or baths, and apply cool water to the skin.

Living Spaces: Keep windows closed during the day and open them at night when it's cooler outside.

Heatstroke:
Heatstroke is a serious condition requiring immediate medical attention. Symptoms include high body temperature, confusion, and seizures.

Heat Exhaustion:
Heat exhaustion is also a serious condition and can lead to heatstroke. Symptoms include heavy sweating, weakness, dizziness, and nausea.

Heat Cramps:
Heat cramps are muscle spasms that can occur during or after exercise in hot weather.

Where to Find More Information:

NHS Fife Website: Visit nhsfife.org/summersafe for more information.

NHS Inform: Refer to NHS inform for guidance on staying safe in hot weather.
