Older people urged to take action between 11am and 3pm
People have been warned to avoid certain activities during this time of day as the sweltering summer temperatures continue Temperatures have soared past 30 degrees during the fourth heatwave of the summer. Scorching conditions pose numerous health risks, with a yellow warning already issued for parts of Britain until Monday, though certain groups face greater danger than others. Age UK charity director Caroline Abrahams cautioned that elderly people must exercise additional care during sweltering weather, particularly those with underlying medical conditions, as they're more vulnerable to heat's impact. She explained: "Older people do need to take extra care though as temperatures rise, especially if they have long term health conditions impacting their heart, lungs or kidneys. "It can exacerbate certain medical problems, and some medications make us more susceptible to hot weather. Generally, our bodies find it harder to adapt to more extreme temperatures as we age." She advised pensioners to remain indoors between 11am and 3pm. This typically represents the day's most blistering period, making it wise to dodge the sun and avoid activities like strolling, shopping or gardening during these hours. Escaping blistering heat may seem impossible when it steadily transforms your house into an oven, particularly since British homes are typically designed for chilly rather than sweltering conditions. However, several methods can help maintain your property as a refreshing refuge. Caroline said: "Most of our homes aren't really designed to cope with scorching weather, so it's a good idea to do all we can to keep the cool air in and hot air out. We can keep windows open at night, but it's best to keep both windows and curtains closed during the day." If you are venturing outdoors, straightforward adjustments like taking water with you and ensuring you remain hydrated can prove crucial during the most sweltering conditions. Donning pale-coloured garments can also reduce the impact of the heat and sun. Regular application of sun cream is also essential when outdoors, and monitoring the weather forecast and UV levels can help determine when to reapply or seek shelter in the shade. Age UK also suggested people who wear spectacles speak to their optician about prescription sunglasses. However, it is not only elderly people that the specialist is urging to take additional precautions during the hot spell. She explained: "We can also all help keep older people safe during episodes of severe heat by checking in on older relatives, friends, and neighbours to see if they need anything and to make sure they are not feeling overwhelmed by the excessive heat. You could offer help to get shopping or picking up any medication, or you may even have an extra fan you could lend." Dehydration poses a significant risk for elderly people and those with particular medical conditions during a heatwave. This can trigger muscle cramps, confusion, feelings of exhaustion and sleep difficulties. It's crucial to remember that you may not always feel thirsty even if you're dehydrated. Age UK advises that if you suspect you or someone else is suffering from dehydration, it's best to rest in a cool, dark place and drink plenty of fluids. If symptoms persist, don't hesitate to dial 111 for advice. Heat exhaustion is another risk, particularly for vulnerable people during periods of intense heat. Symptoms can include headaches, dizziness, nausea, weakness, excessive sweating and a rapid heartbeat. If left untreated, heat exhaustion can escalate into heatstroke, which can lead to confusion, disorientation, seizures and even loss of consciousness. This is a potentially fatal condition, so if these symptoms are present, immediately call 999 or activate a community alarm.

UK weather: Exactly when Britain will be hotter than Ibiza with major 31C heat blast forecast
Weather maps show when the UK is set for more scorching conditions where temperatures could hit the 30Cs again after the current heatwave and sun lovers won't have to wait too long Brits are set for more scorching temperatures ahead with weather maps turning red and it is set to be hotter than the holiday island of Ibiza. The UK is currently enjoying its fourth heatwave of the year with temperatures have soared above 30C again in parts of the country. In unusually hot conditions the warmest day so far was recorded in Faversham, Kent, where it reached 35.8C last month and the outlook is for more heat in the week leading up to the end of the month. A map from Ventusky shows temperatures remain warm but drop to the low 20Cs and high teens for much of the country in the second half of this coming week. But they will begin to climb again the week after, spiking on August 26, with a map mid-afternoon showing a high of 31C in the southeast of England compared to the high 20Cs in Ibiza. Many Brits have headed over to Spain this month during the school holidays but for those who have stayed behind they are having no shortage of sunshine. After the current heatwave peters out, the mercury is set to rise again on Sunday, August 24, where there will be widespread temperatures in the high 20Cs for England while in England it will be cooler in the mid to high teens. The UK will be influenced by a high pressure system over the Continent but a front bringing unsettled weather starts to come in from the Atlantic meaning that for August 25 and 26 it remains hot in the south east but temperatures will cool elsewhere dropping down to the low teens in the west of Wales and northern Scotland. And the outlook from the Met Office from August 21-30 highlights the dry weather at the start but then it says a low pressure will sweep in, linked to Tropical Storm Erin. It states: 'High pressure is likely to be the dominant feature at first, initially centred near to Iceland, allowing a north to northeasterly airstream to affect much of the UK, leading to rather cool conditions. High pressure is likely to progress SE across the UK for a time, bringing widely fine and dry conditions and for some, an increase in temperatures, relative to the previous few days. "Whilst this is happening a deep area of low pressure is likely to develop in the North Atlantic, linked to Tropical Storm Erin. The final week of August may see Atlantic weather systems progress over the UK, especially in the north and west, with a small chance of widely wetter and windier weather developing. The evolution of this is highly uncertain though.'
