Here are some tips to help you stay safe in the sunshine:

- Avoid spending too much time outside during the hottest part of the day (between 11am and 3pm), and keep in the shade.
- Wear a sun hat and carry a bottle of water with you.
- Wearing light-coloured, lightweight cotton clothing can help keep you cooler.
- Apply sun cream. You should use at least SPF 30 and apply it regularly.
- Make sure any sunglasses you wear have a CE mark and UV40 label.
