00:16 particularly tough for those vulnerable groups like the elderly and very small children.
00:20 New South Wales Health Dr Jeremy McAnulty has some tips on how to stay safe over the
00:26 coming heatwave.
00:27 If you are going out and about make sure you're prepared for hot weather so wear comfortable
00:32 loose fitting clothing that's not too heavy, wear a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, carry water

00:46 Avoid exercising in the hotter parts of the day.
00:49 Health authorities say for those staying indoors to close the doors, the blinds and windows,
00:54 to crank the air conditioner or the fan and if you don't have those to head to your local
