A Heat-Health Alert has been issued for the next five days by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and the Met Office, highlighting the risks that higher temperatures can bring to people’s health. Hot weather can put extra pressure on the body. It can lead to dehydration, overheating, and make existing health issues worse. People with conditions like heart or lung disease, diabetes, kidney problems or mental health conditions may be more affected. Some medications and having more than one condition can also make it harder for the body to stay cool and properly hydrated. Here are some simple steps to stay well: Try to stay out of the heat, particularly between 11am and 3pm Drink plenty of fluids regularly Keep your home cool by closing blinds or curtains during the day Avoid strenuous activity in the hottest part of the day Check in on friends, family and neighbours, especially older people or those living alone Store medicines correctly and take them as prescribed For more advice go to https://onedevon.org.uk/news
