Hello @Suzanne_HFAut54 Pleased to meet you welcome.

Thank you for sharing your story. I am not too sure of an answer to your question.  I know a member of our community or team will know.

All I can say have a look at our Specific information on conditions. Lots of advice, comments from community members.

Also may I add we are a friendly community. Supportive, care and share..

Ask the community anything some one will know.

As for feeling stressed and tired of the hot weather. I am sure you find plenty of people in our community agree with you. Many might not.

According to weather analysts this is going to become the normal weather patterns to come. So we should be grateful and enjoy the weather.  Try to cope. I notice from reading that this Government has no contingency plans to deal with heatwaves I believe.

My advice what I do. Is get up early do what I can before eleven .  After eleven slow down cool down. Drink plenty of water  Quenching fruits like Oranges, easy peelers and all those sorts of Citrus. All helps.. Do not go out after eleven to midday.  Wear a hat if that helps. Also factor 15 plus. After three again start anything I need to do.   This is what I believe they do in climates with hot weather.

Food wise I eat my spices like Chilli's and yes there do make you sweat but then the body reacts to cool the blood. Hence why in hot climates countries have chillies in the diet. Works for them so why not us Brits.

All I can say about future planning have done a lot my self.  

Lovely to talk you and hope you find our community helpful.

Take care
