Stay safe in forecast hot weather

With high temperatures forecast this week, Lincolnshire residents are being advised to remain careful whilst enjoying the sunny weather.

Temperatures are expected to be high throughout the week and into the weekend and the advice is to take precautions to stay safe in the sun.
 
Councillor Wendy Bowkett, Executive Councillor for Public Health, said: "Please take extra care of children and elderly people in the hot weather as they are more vulnerable to suffering the effects of the heat. We wouldn't want to stop anybody enjoying the sun, so please have fun and look after one another by following our top tips."
 
Derek Ward, Director of Public Health for Greater Lincolnshire, added: “We want everybody to enjoy the warm weather safely but please remember that heat can quickly impact on your health. To avoid your fun in the sun being spoiled it’s most important to ensure you stay hydrated, keep cool and take steps to prevent your homes from overheating.”
