It’s going to be a sweltering summer day in Sheffield this weekend - but remember to take it seriously and look after your health.

Here are six tips to stay safe in a heatwave from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents as a sweltering 33C weekend heads towards Sheffield.

Britain’s homes and infrastructure were not designed with Mediterranean temperatures in the low 30s in mind, and heatwaves pose a risk to everyone’s health.

Watch out video above for six tips for staying safe in Sheffield and South Yorkshire this weekend.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents have shared these hot weather tips for the garden or out and about this weekend:

Stay hydrated – drink water regularly; avoid alcohol and caffeine
Seek shade – especially between 11am and 3pm
Use sunscreen – apply high-factor protection
Dress smart – wear light, loose-fitting clothing
Know the signs – watch for symptoms of heat exhaustion or heat stroke
Plan ahead – check forecasts and avoid peak heat hours

Steve Cole, Policy Director at RoSPA, said: “Heat is no longer just a holiday perk—it’s a growing public health risk. We’re seeing more frequent and intense heatwaves, both in the UK and globally, and the data shows a clear rise in heat-related illness and fatalities.

“Warm weather can also be deceptive when it comes to going for a dip. While the air may feel hot, water temperatures often remain dangerously cold, which can lead to cold water shock, even in summer.”
