How do you stay cool in a heatwave?

Wear light, loose clothing in a heatwave

Dark colours absorb more heat than light colours. So, during a heatwave, you'll feel a lot cooler if you stick to white (or other light-coloured) garments.

'Light' is also the way to approach your clothes' fitting and material. It helps to wear loose T-shirts, shorts and dresses made out of cotton or linen. They'll feel much airier than tight, denim clothes.
