The ways your body reacts in hot weather – and when you must dial 999
WE have been waiting absolutely ages after what feels like the longest and wettest winter and spring but finally, finally the great British Summertime has arrived.A yellow alert is issued when temperatures reach a level which would mainly impact vulnerable people, for example those over the age of 65 or those with chronicWhatever the temperature outside - be it minus five or 35C - the body needs to stay in a very tightly controlled temperature range, between about 35-37.5 degrees.
You may notice that you don’t feel hungry, or feel nauseous and may have abdominal pain or even cramping in your limbs. You can use a fan to cool the room, take off clothes and drink cool fluids, if you feel sick drink a little at a time. You can even use a cool flannel to sponge down to try to cool down.
Wear loose clothing, preferably of natural fibres and hat and stay out of the sun when it is at its hottest, between 11am and 3pm and make sure that you are drinking plenty. And while it won’t stop you getting heatstroke, don’t forget the sunscreen to protect your skin in the sun.
