Here are5️⃣tips to keeping your car cool in a heatwave (from the RAC)

☂️ Park in the shade. Keeping your car out of direct sunlight is one of the best ways to keep the interior cool in the summer

👕Cover the seats with a blanket or jacket. If your vehicle has leather seats then the summer sun will transform the surface of the seat into a hotplate. Keep them cool by covering them up, especially if you have to park in direct sunlight

💨Learn how to use your car's air conditioning system. Check the owner’s manual to fully understand how it operates and what setting(s) you need to use to cool the car’s interior quickly and effectively

🫗Carry water and soft drinks at all times. Keep a spare bottle of water and one or two soft drinks in your car at all times. Dehydration can impact your concentration and awareness levels, presenting a danger in hot weather conditions

❄️Keep a cool bag/box in your car. This will keep drinks and snacks cool in a heatwave and ensure you can properly hydrate and have a refreshing, cool snack
