Red heat health alert in place🌡️
High temperatures and hot, humid conditions can have a serious impact on health, particularly for older people, babies and young children, and those with existing health conditions.
Please help keep yourself and others safe by:
💧 Drinking plenty of water
☀️ Avoiding the sun between 11am and 3pm
🧴 Wearing sunscreen, a hat and seeking shade when outdoors
🏠 Keeping your home cool by closing curtains or blinds on sun-facing windows
🏃 Avoiding strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day
❤️ Checking in on vulnerable neighbours, friends and family
⚠️ If you're spending time near rivers, lakes or other open water, take extra care and stay safe.
If you need somewhere cool to escape the heat, remember our Welcoming Spaces are available across West Northants.
