How to keep cool in a heatwave
Most of us welcome hot weather, but when it's too hot, there are health risks. Here are three ways to keep cool according to the NHS...
Keep out of the heat if you can.
If you have to go outside, stay in the shade especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen, a hat and light clothes, and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter.
Cool yourself down.
Have cold food and drinks, avoid alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks, and have a cool shower or put cool water on your skin or clothes.
Keep your living space cool.
Close windows during the day and open them at night when the temperature outside has gone down. Electric fans can help if the temperature is below 35 degrees. Check the temperature of rooms, especially where people at higher risk live and sleep.

Major mobile network with 18million customers unleashes huge free data boost for their cheapest plans
A MAJOR mobile network operator is unleashing a huge boost in data allowance to 18 million of its customers for free. It comes on their basics plan, which is the cheapest entry-level package offered by the network. 1 Vodafone UK will boost data allowance on mobile broadband Credit: Alamy New Details of the plan It will provide 21GB of data for just £7 a month, as well as unlimited minutes on UK calls and texts on a 12-month term. Customers can otherwise choose to get 80GB for £8, which is up from 50GB, 90GB for £10. They can also get 100GB for £12 a month, which is up from 70GB. Read More Tech News The price will increase monthly by £1 from April next year. Claim the Vodafone deal Vodafone does make it difficult to find the Basics plan on their website. They also do not display it on their SIM Only deals page. The plan is designed to be very simplistic and don't include any support for 5G services, only 4G. Most read in Tech As stated on their website: "Vodafone Basics are our simple, everyday plans. "Vodafone Basics plans are capped so you never need to worry about going over your allowances. "This means, picture messages, International calls and Premium calls starting 09 are not available." Other features like international calls and texts, upgrades, Vodafone also occasionally introduces changes to their mobile plans, and yet to state how long the new offers will run. GOOD CALL David Dickinson reveals how Brits can save money on their smartphone How to save on your mobile phone bill BY Jamie Harris, Senior Technology and Science Reporter NOT happy with your current mobile phone deal? If you're outside the minimum term of your contract then you won't need to pay a cancellation fee - and you might be able to find a cheaper deal elsewhere. But don't just switch contracts because the price is cheaper than what you're currently paying. Take a look at how many minutes and texts, as well as how much data you're using, to find out which deal is best for you. For example, if you're a heavy internet user it's worth finding a deal that accommodates this so you don't end up spending extra on bundles or add-ons each month. Also note that if you're still in your contract period, you might be charged an exit fee. Ready to look elsewhere? Pay-as-you-go deals are better for people who don't regularly use their phone, while monthly contracts usually work out cheaper for those who do. It's worth using comparison websites, such as MoneySupermarket and to compare tariffs and phone prices. Billmonitor also matches buyers to the best pay-monthly deal based on their previous three months of bills. It only works if you're a customer of EE, O2, Three, Vodafone or Tesco Mobile and you'll need to log in with your online account details. There's also MobilePhoneChecker, which has a bill monitoring feature that recommends a tariff based on your monthly usage. If you're happy with your provider then it might be worth using your research to haggle a better deal.
