Staying well in warmer weather
Although we are often glad for those sunny days, we have been experiencing much warmer weather the past decade, so we need to take extra care for our health as the temperatures soar. According to Public Health England, 1 in 5 homes in England are prone to overheating.
Do you know how to keep yourself and your home cool during the heat?
When the warm weather hits…
Wear light coloured, lightweight cotton clothing
Use electric fans if the temperature is below 35°C
Avoid extreme physical exertion
Give your body a break from the heat
Watch out for signs of becoming unwell
Ask someone to check on you or check on friends
Help us make sure that no one in Merton has to face life's challenges alone
