How to keep your yourself and your home cool in hot weather

Tepid showers can help to cool your body temperature, saving both money and energy. But Prof Tipton warns not to go too cold: “The trick is to try and get the skin as cool as possible whilst maintaining maximum blood flow to it.

“Too cold and the body will shut down blood to the skin and trap the heat in the body making it harder to get out.”

Putting an ice pack or cold-water bottle on your body can achieve an instant feeling of relief. You may want to wrap it in a towel to avoid direct contact with your skin.

Your clothes can also really affect your body temperature.

Natural fibres like cotton and linen help to regulate body temperature and loose-fitting clothing allows room for the breeze to cool you down.

This is also why cotton bed sheets can help you sleep when hot air fills a room.
