**Health Experts Advise Against Hot Beverages as UK Faces 39C Heatwave**
**Hot Tea and Coffee Guidance as the UK Braces for 39C Heat**
The UK is likely to experience soaring temperatures, reaching at least 39C soon. As the country prepares for this extreme heat, health experts are advising on drink choices to stay cool.
Dr Jay has cautioned against having hot beverages during such stifling weather. He stated, "On a very hot and humid day, if you're wearing a lot of clothing, or if you're having so much sweat that it starts to drip on the ground and doesn't evaporate from the skin's surface, then drinking a hot drink is a bad thing." He suggests opting for cold drinks instead, as they help in cooling down the body.
Staying hydrated in these high temperatures is crucial. Experts recommend drinking plenty of fluids, focusing on water and other cool refreshments to support the body’s needs during the heatwave.
With temperatures expected to rise, it is important to be mindful of how the heat can affect health and wellbeing.
