As the weather warms up, many of us look forward to enjoying the sunshine and spending more time outdoors. However, it’s important to remember that hot weather can pose health risks if we’re not careful.
The good news is that there are simple steps we can all take to stay safe in the heat—and to support others who may need a little extra help.
Tips to stay safe in the heat:
There are a few easy things you can do to keep cool and well during hot weather:
- Stay in touch: Check in on friends, family, or neighbours who might need help keeping cool and hydrated.
- Keep your home cool: Close curtains in rooms that get direct sun. Sometimes it may even be cooler outdoors than inside.
- Limit sun exposure: Try to stay in the shade and avoid physical activity during the hottest parts of the day.
