Temperatures are due to reach the high 20s by Thursday, and there is a chance they
may exceed 30°C on Saturday.
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 we welcome the
warm weather, extreme heat can cause harm to health including heat exhaustion,
heatstroke, and dehydration. There are a number of events happening this weekend
and I encourage all Islanders attending, to take precautions and stay safe in the hot
weather.”
