Staying cool in the heat is very important to protect your health. If you’re outside, it’s important to stay out of direct sunlight and have plenty of water with you. Wearing lightweight clothing can also help you to stay cool, and regularly applying suncream is important, even if it doesn’t seem sunny. Staying cool inside is also important. You can do this by closing the blinds or curtains and having a cool bath or shower. Also, you may possibly want to move any medication to the fridge when it’s really hot.

It’s important to make sure you’re staying hydrated during the summer. Keeping a full water bottle with you and drinking even if you aren’t thirsty are the best ways to stay hydrated. It’s important to know the signs of dehydration and what to do if you start to notice them.
