Summer temperatures often break 30C in the UK, and fun seekers flock to parks, pools and promenades to make the most of the weather.
But for some, heatwaves can be a little uncomfortable. Muggy nights can keep people up, especially the elderly and little ones.
If it gets a little too much for you, here are some handy tips:
Tips for Staying Cool
• Drink plenty of water
• Apply sun cream
• Stay in the shade between 11am-3pm
• Open windows and doors
• If you have one, open the attic to allow hot air to escape
• Put a bowl of water with ice cubes underneath a fan
• Wear cottons and breathable fabrics to bed
