For the first time in history, the UK Met Office has extended its Red Warning for Extreme Heat in southern England for three consecutive days. The UK Health Security Agency has also issued a series of Heat Health Alerts around the country.
This week, a vet nurse told me that their practice had been inundated with dogs suffering from the heat and humidity.
Although the peak of heatwave has passed, the weekend looks set to be a hot one, so here are some in depth posts I wrote containing advice on how to keep you, your camper, and your furry friends cool.
If you have any further tips, please add them in the comments!
