Today may be the hottest day Europe has ever recorded 
Please stay safe!
Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated Shower in cool water when needed and/or wash your hands and face The UV index is high. If you go outside, try to wear a sun hat and keep to the shade Avoid unnecessary strenuous activity Carry a fan if you have one, and don't be afraid to use it Hide inside supermarkets or shopping malls if you need to. Especially if they have fridges you can stand next to awhile.

@carbontwelve @philipp Hmmm... Now you mention it, yeah, it does look a bit like that. I just kinda like the idea of wearing a jacket stuffed full of ice!
@carbontwelve @philipp Oh gosh, me too! 
@InvaderXan I think that's Tony Martin. He planned ahead by trying to drive Mark Rowe off the road and got disqualified after the race yesterday. Smart man!
@InvaderXan No, I was wrong. It's George Bennet. I'm really bad with heir faces with those huge sunglasses.
@philipp cycling that much is never a good idea lol
@InvaderXan
Would libraries be a good addition to this? Being somewhere you're allowed to just loiter for free seems handy
@Tetra If they’re cool band air conditioned, that’s an excellent idea!
@InvaderXan One thing I would add to this is to check on your older relatives and neighbors. The elderly can be shockingly vulnerable to heat.
@thelazyoldfox Anyone vulnerable TBH. As well as the elderly, people with physical disabilities or health problems are also at risk from such an extreme heatwave.
@InvaderXan \o/ yes! And very young people, too, infants and toddlers. Heck, active young kids in general, too. Make sure your sproggen are drinking a lot of water taking breaks, etc.
More general and perhaps cheerful advice: eat fruit and ice cream. Fruit hydrates, and ice cream is ice cream.
@InvaderXan and put on sunscreen, even to the shade the sun rays can still hit you, because of bouncing on various surfaces.
@InvaderXan i have my coffee, so im getting plenty of water
