Sorry to teach grandma to suck eggs but in case you or someone near you experiences symptoms of heatstroke (brain overheats) on Monday or Tuesday:
Here’s the NHS advice:

The most immediate thing to do is to get out of the sun, into somewhere cool and spray or wet your top with cold water and/or apply a towel with cold water to your neck. Also wet your head with cold water.
Obviously look after your cars too!
- a headache
- dizziness and confusion
- loss of appetite and feeling sick
- excessive sweating and pale, clammy skin

Heat exhaustion and heatstroke can happen if you get too hot. They can be serious. They usually happen during a heatwave or in a hot climate, but can also be caused by very intense exercise.

. Having worked in several desert areas in my past and actually worked in 62C (albeit in brief bursts) temperatures above about 30-35 become very uncomfortable quite quickly. Drink plenty of water!
