The heat can be dangerous for certain groups of people such as the elderly, those with existing medical conditions or the very young. 

It is easy to become dehydrated in hot weather as we can soon lose more fluid than we take in, and even people at the peak of physical fitness can become ill if they are not careful. Drink cold non- alcoholic drinks regularly, keep out of the sun during the hottest times of the day between 11am - 3pm, and avoid physical exertion in the heat where possible. People who are elderly, the very young and those with chronic conditions are more at risk, so we urge that you to check on vulnerable friends and neighbours every day during the heatwave.
