Dear vivinavi,

An Amber Heat-Health Alert is in place across London until 9pm on Friday, with temperatures expected to remain high over the coming days.

Please remember four simple things to stay safe this week:
1. Stay Cool

Drink plenty of water, avoid the hottest part of the day where possible, and make use of London's Cool Spaces Map (https://us.list-manage.com/AnEd3eEFDmf?e=ecc03a6ac7&c2id=ce16c2130458c1486ce07ac36e1b9c76) if you need somewhere to escape the heat.
2. Check on others

Hot weather can be particularly dangerous for older people, young children and those with underlying physical or mental health conditions. A quick call or visit could make a real difference.
3. Be water aware

It can be tempting to cool off in a river, lake or reservoir, but open water can be far more dangerous than it looks. Please avoid entering open water to cool off and only swim in designated areas with lifeguards present. You can find more advice (https://us.list-manage.com/uazaPaTci6g?e=ecc03a6ac7&c2id=ce16c2130458c1486ce07ac36e1b9c76) through the London Fire Brigade's #BeWaterAware campaign.
4. Avoid wildfire risks

Hot, dry weather can increase the risk of grass and wildfires across London. Avoid using disposable barbecues in parks and open spaces, take extra care with outdoor cooking equipment, and dispose of litter responsibly. If you see signs of a grass fire, move to a safe place and call 999.

By following these simple steps, you can help keep yourself and those around you safe during the hot weather. For the latest advice, visit the UK Health Security Agency's website (https://us.list-manage.com/b6TXtft5Oty?e=ecc03a6ac7&c2id=ce16c2130458c1486ce07ac36e1b9c76) .

Best wishes,

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan
