Dehydration, burning and overheating are all commonplace during the summer, but we can help to avoid them if we make sure that we – and especially our learners – follow some simple steps. 

Hydrate: 

We recommend bringing re-fillable water bottles and to drink simply water to keep the body’s core temperature down and to keep all your organs functioning properly. 

Shower: 

Take a cooler shower than normal and more frequently too, to help keep you cool.  

Shade: 

Try to spend as much time as you can in the shade – especially between 11am and 4pm. 

Eat: 

Even if you feel like it’s too hot to eat, try lighter foods like salads or foods which have a higher water content will make you feel less lethargic. 

Sunscreen: 

It’s really important that you wear sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 to protect your skin against long-term damage from the sun. 

Cover up: 

It’s better to stay covered up too. You might also want to wear a hat and/or sunglasses too.
