Avoid drinks with caffeine.<\/li>\n<li>Wear loose-fitting, lightweight and light-coloured clothing. Avoid dark colours because they absorb the sun\u2019s rays.<\/li>\n<li>Shut windows and close the blinds when it\u2019s hotter outside. Open windows for ventilation when it\u2019s cooler.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid extreme temperature changes, for example moving from a cold air-conditioned room to the outside.<\/li>\n<li>Keep a check on friends, relatives and neighbours throughout the day, especially those less able to look after themselves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Generally, we&#8217;re able to\u00a0regulate our internal temperature\u00a0by\u00a0sweating, but excessive heat makes it harder for our body to cool itself, which could lead to one of 3 heat-related illnesses; heat cramps, heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
