UK heatwave: The best ways to stay cool this bank holiday weekend
The Met Office advises avoiding direct sunlight between 11am and 3pm
Britain is preparing for a bank holidayheatwave, with heat health alerts from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) set to begin on Friday.
Yellow warnings will be active from 9am across London, the South East, the East, and the Midlands.
The Met Office advises avoiding direct sunlight between 11am and 3pm and shutting curtains to “keep indoor spaces cooler.”
An air conditioning technician at Super Brothers, Alex Atkinson, suggests “minimising the use of ovens, stoves, or dryers during the hottest periods, alongside keeping hydrated and having cool showers throughout the day.”
When outdoors, wearing loose-fitting clothing and consuming electrolyte drinks may help you to stay cool and hydrated.
