The heatwave is expected to last until Sunday.
“The following precautionary measures can be taken; staying hydrated by drinking copious amounts of water, limiting outdoor activities (especially during the hottest time of the day), wearing loose clothing and avoiding dark-coloured clothing where possible, remaining in the shade where possible.
