Typical that it\u2019d be like this during a global pandemic, but whatever&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>So you\u2019re probably wondering, how do I cool down?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wear loose clothes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This may come as a surprise to some people because you\u2019re technically wearing \u201cmore\u201d clothes, but by wearing loose clothes, you\u2019re allowing the air to travel freely through them, as oppose to getting trapped inside tighter clothes, which can act like insulation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wear light coloured clothes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Lighter colours don\u2019t conduct heat as well as darker ones. You ever got into a black car on a hot day? You\u2019ll know what I mean if you have&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Drink cold drinks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A pretty self explanatory one. Cold drinks will cool you down, because they\u2019re cold.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stay inside<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Often indoors is cooler than outside. You may even be lucky enough to have AC inside too, so staying inside can actually be cooler than going out more time\u2019s than not.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stay in the shade<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Staying in the shade is another obvious one, as you\u2019re literally avoiding the thing making everything hot by sitting there. It\u2019s also good to remember to stay there during peak time\u2019s of the day, as you don\u2019t want to be hot AND sun burned.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stay hydrated<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hydration is important when you\u2019re outside in the sun for a number of reasons. Drinking water can keep you from feeling less hot and bothered than you would without it, and there\u2019s nothing worse than being dehydrated in the sun.<\/p>\n<p>We hope these simple tips have helped you stay cooler during these hot days. You can\u2019t please us Brits when it comes to weather can you?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s set to rain in a few days anyways so hopefully we won\u2019t have to suffer for too much longer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s scary right now in the UK.
