With Britain expected to reach record temperature highs on this week, the Met Office has issued an amber weather warning for extreme heat in the North East. The region is set to be hotter than the likes of Florida, Athens and Sao Paolo this week.
As temperatures soar, so too does the risk of suffering from dehydration, heatstroke or heat exhaustion so staying cool and safe has never been more important. Luckily, Australians know a thing or two about coping in the hot weather and have shared some handy tips on staying safe during the heatwave.
Heatwaves pose a very serious threat to the health of those living in Australia. So much so that periods of extreme heat have been responsible for killing more people than bushfires, cyclones and any other natural disaster.
