Good advice for the hot weather from Tallaght University Hospital

How to stay safe during hot weather - Keep cool
• Avoid spending long periods outdoors during the hottest part of the day (11am to 3pm)
• Stay in the shade whenever possible
• Wear light-coloured, loose-fitting clothes
• Minimise unnecessary heating - turn off central heating, electrical equipment and lights that are not needed
• Keep your home cool by closing curtains or blinds during the day and opening windows when temperatures are cooler in the evening and overnight
• Dampening your skin with a wet cloth or wet towel may help to keep you cool
