But if you don’t have the means, you need to find other ways to cool down - our general advice in heatwaves to the elderly (that are at higher risk and often don’t have the means to run ac all day) is to go to shopping centres, public libraries and government buildings to stay cool.

Drinks LOTS of chilled water.

WOW! None of us ever thought about that! I’m sure these people who died would have survived if only they knew about these excellent tricks!
