Heatwave

Do now

  1. Move to the coolest room in the house: lowest floor, north-facing if you have one.
  2. Shut the windows and put the blinds down for the day.
  3. Start wet-cloth evaporative cooling.

Then

Never

Never skip checking on elderly neighbours, twice daily. In most countries, heat kills more people than storms do.
