With temperatures expected to soar beyond 30°C this weekend, islanders have been given advice on how to look after themselves and other vulnerable people during a heatwave.
Extreme heat can cause exhaustion, heatstroke, and dehydration, with older people and children particularly at risk, the government said.
Temperatures could go as high as 31°C on Sunday.
Steps Islanders can take to stay cool during the hot spell include:
Avoid going outside during the hottest time of day 11am to 3pm
Leave strenuous activities for later on in the day when it is cooler
Take cold baths and showers
Drink plenty of water and avoid coffee and alcohol
Keep your home cool by closing curtains, opening windows, and using fans
Wear a hat and loose light clothing, try to stay in the shade and carry water with you
Wear sun cream when going outside
