EXTREME WEATHER NOTICE
Extreme heat has been forecast in our region over the coming days. Survive the heat by following these five tips:
Drink plenty of water. Stay hydrated with frequent sips.
- Hot cars kill. Never leave kids, adults or pets in cars, as the temperature inside a parked car can double within minutes.
- Keep cool. Draw your blinds, use a fan, take cool showers and dress in light, loose clothing made from natural fabrics.
- Plan ahead and schedule activities in the coolest part of the day.
- Check in on others. Look out for anyone vulnerable – neighbours who live alone, an elderly friend or family member, people with medical conditions and your pets.
