Tips to stay cool in heat

WITH temperatures soaring into the high twenties, Notts County Council is urging residents to be vigilant in the hot, summer sun.

With a greater heatwave expected in the coming week, tips to stay protected are; apply sun cream before leaving the house; stay hydrated with water; wear wide- brimmed hats to avoid heatstroke and watch out for the very young and the very old, who are more vulnerable in heat.
