Good Morning Britain doctor explains dangers of heat exhaustion and how to stay cool

A doctor appeared on Good Morning Britain to warn Brits of the dangers of the high temperatures including heat exhaustion.

Deputy Chief Medical Officer for England, Dr Thomas Waite, appeared on the ITV talk show to chat to hosts Ed Balls and Ranvir Singh about the record breaking heatwave. The Met Office has issued red and amber weather warnings across the nation, urging people to keep safe in the sun.

The doctor said: "We're looking at some record breaking heat over the next couple of days according to the Met Office forecasts. When it's hotter outside in the air than it is inside your body, your body works quite hard to stay at about 37C year round no matter the weather or the temperature, that's really quite hard work for your body to lose the heat that it generates."
