Drink two to three litres of water per day, even if you don't feel thirsty!!! Avoid 'fizzy', alcoholic and caffeinated drinks and do not take salt tablets (unless instructed to by a doctor).
Dress Summer clothes. Light coloured clothing reflects heat and sunlight and helps your body maintain a normal temperature.
Visit at risk individuals such as the sick and elderly, at least twice a day and keep an eye on children. Watch for signs of heat-related illness.
Keep out of the sun as much as possible. If you must be in the sun, wear hat and sunglasses. Also make sure you wear sunscreen to prevent sunburn, which limits the body's ability to cope with heat.
Prepare your home early. Service or replace your air conditioner before you need it. Curtains, awnings and blinds can also help to keep the home cool.
If you don't have air conditioning, make use of public facilities such as shopping centres, art galleries, cinemas or other air conditioned buildings. Portable fans are also useful in drawing in cool air, or exhausting warm air from a room.
Pets can be particularly vulnerable to the heat. Make sure they have shade and plenty of cool water to last the day.
If you or your know people don't feel good, don't hesitate to contact your local health services.
