🔥 Heatwave Tips: Staying Cool & Safe 🔥
With the hot weather well and truely arriving in Adelaide, here are a few simple ways to stay cool and look after yourself (and each other):
💧 Drink plenty of water — even if you don’t feel thirsty
👕 Wear light, loose clothing and use sunscreen if heading outside
🕶️ Avoid outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day
❄️ Keep your home cool — close blinds, use fans/air-con, and open windows in the evening
👵 Check in on others — older adults, children, and people with health conditions may need extra support
🚗 Never leave kids or pets in the car, even for a short time
If you or someone you care for needs extra support during the heat, help is always available.
Stay cool, stay safe, and enjoy your long weekend ☀️
