Summer health advice is especially important during periods of hot weather, as high temperatures can affect your health and wellbeing.

Many of us welcome hot weather, but when it's too hot, there are health risks. During heatwaves, more people than usual get seriously ill or die. When hot weather hits, make sure it does not harm you or anyone you know.

For more information about who might be at risk, advice including how to cope with the heat and more see the NHS website.
