Following Red Extreme Heat warnings from the Met Office this week, remember to stay safe and take care of each other.
Look after those who are more at risk, including babies, children, older people, those with health conditions, and pets.
It sounds obvious but drink more water than you usually would, and wear sunscreen.
The hottest part of the day is 11am to 3pm, so avoid that if you can.
Stay out of the Thames - it's not a place to cool off. Strong currents, hidden hazards, boats – it's more dangerous than you’d think.
Instead, cool off at your local swimming pool, or visit one of our free cool spaces.
BBQs aren’t permitted in our parks, always bin your rubbish or take it home, and dispose of glass bottles and cigarettes carefully.
Avoid walking dogs, keep them cool indoors instead – even short walks are life-threatening in these temperatures. Tips to stay safe and well in hot weather
