While summer may lift our spirits, temperatures can become dangerously hot. Anyone can be affected by the heat but you may be especially at risk if you're living with a long-term health condition or on some medications.
Our advice guide offers practical tips to help you cope in hot weather including how to look after yourself, keeping your home cool, how to spot the signs of heat-related illness and what to do if someone becomes unwell.
The advice in this guide applies to England only. A lot of it will still be relevant to you but we have a few suggestions if you are looking for advice that is specific to other parts of the UK.
