People across the country are being urged to stay safe as they enjoy the warm weather.
Anyone who spends a lot of time in the sun can develop heat exhaustion. According to the NHS, this is usually not serious and gets better when you cool down but if it turns into heatstroke it needs to be treated as an emergency.
Heatstroke is the most severe form of heat illness and is caused by the body overheating, typically as a result of being exposed to high temperatures. It occurs when the body is unable to regulate its temperature, causing an increased heart rate, rapid breathing, nausea, high body temperature, headaches and altered mental behaviour.
