The best thing to do in the hot weather is stay out of the direct sun, especially during the hottest part of the day, between 11am and 3pm, as UV rays are strongest during these hours #BeattheHeat #UKHeatwave

If you’re going out in the hot weather, walk in the shade, apply sunscreen, wear a hat, sunglasses and light, loose-fitting, light-coloured clothes #BeattheHeat #UKHeatwave

A cool living space is especially important for infants, older people or those with long-term health conditions. Use electric fans if the temperature is below 35°C, but do not aim the fan directly at the body #BeatTheHeat
