Temperatures are due to reach the high 20s this weekend and into next week. Some simple
steps Islanders can take to stay cool during this hot spell include:
- avoid going outside during the heat of the day (midday to 6pm)
- leave strenuous activities for the evening when it is cooler
- take cold baths and showers
- drink plenty of water and avoid coffee and alcohol
- keep your home cool by closing curtains, opening windows and using fans
- wear a hat and loose light clothing, try to stay in the shade and carry water with you.
Director of Public Health, Professor Peter Bradley, said: “While the warm weather is
enjoyed by most, extreme heat can cause harm to health including heat exhaustion,
heatstroke, and dehydration, particularly to the most vulnerable in the community. I encourage
all Islanders to take precautions and stay safe in the hot weather.”
