The NHS Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, and Berkshire West Integrated Care Board (BOB ICB) has advised that some people – like older adults, young children, and those with long-term health conditions – can be more affected by heat. The ICB adds that now would be a good time to check in with family, friends and neighbours to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable.

The NHS advises the public to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Water is best, but fruit juice or diluted squash can help too. Avoid too much caffeine or alcohol, the ICB cautions.

Aylesbury residents are also advised to try and stay inside during the hottest part of the day. Residents are advised to use fans at home to circulate air. The ICB adds that libraries, supermarkets or community centres are good places to visit if your home is too warm.

Residents are also advised to use sunscreen with a high SPF and wear sunglasses if you are heading outdoors. More information on how to stay safe in the heat can be found online here.
