THE heat is on with temperatures soaring across the UK and a rare Met Office 'amber warning' issued.
While there's lots to enjoy about warm weather, a heatwave can also bring sleepless nights, sunburn and dehydration.
"The body functions best at a certain temperature and when that temperature rises, we start sweating and losing fluids, which is our body's natural reaction in an attempt to cool down," explains Dr Ross Perry, GP and medical director of Cosmedics (cosmedics.co.uk).
"When we sweat excessively, it can lead to dehydration which can become dangerous, therefore it's important to stay hydrated to keep our bodies working and healthy.
How do you know if you're at risk of dehydration?
"Signs of being dehydrated include headaches, dizziness, dry mouth, tiredness, occasionally nausea and low blood pressure," Dr Perry says.
