Staying well in the warmer weather – a message from LAS Gold Commander Pauline Cranmer

As the sun comes out and temperatures rise this week and over the weekend– many of us will be looking forward to enjoying the sunshine and fine weather. But please be aware of the dangers of spending too long in the sun and the health risks of hot weather. Try to stick to shade and wear sun cream. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight – especially between 11am and 3pm when the sun’s UV rays are at their strongest. In warmer weather it’s also really important to drink plenty of water. If you’re heading out, take a bottle of water with you.
