Those who need to be outside should wear sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and light, loose-fitting cotton clothes.
The SHA added heat stroke is a medical emergency and individuals should call 911 or seek immediate medical help if they are caring for someone with a high body temperature, or who is unconscious, confused or has stopped sweating.
