Jul 17 2023

Frozen Treats!

When the summer heat starts scorching, what better way to beat it than with frozen delights? Treat yourself to ice cream, popsicles, or even homemade smoothies. Indulge in refreshing flavors like lemon, watermelon, or mint to cool down your body temperature and satisfy your taste buds. So, wave goodbye to the heat and say hello to a tasty frozen paradise!

Drink Water!

Don’t let the sizzling sun leave you feeling parched! Stay hydrated by sipping on cool beverages throughout the day. Opt for water, fresh fruit juices, or electrolyte-rich sports drinks to replenish the fluids you lose through sweating. To make it even more exciting, infuse your water with slices of citrus fruits or cucumbers for a burst of flavor. Remember, staying hydrated is the ultimate secret to surviving summer like a champ!

Seek Shade and Dress Light!

As the temperature soars, it’s essential to protect yourself from the scorching rays of the sun. Whenever possible, seek shade under trees, awnings, or umbrellas to give your body a break from direct sunlight. Additionally, dress in loose, breathable clothing made from lightweight fabrics such as cotton or linen. Keep those UV rays at bay and let your skin breathe!

Make Your Home a Haven!

Your home should be an oasis from the summer heat. To keep it cool, draw the curtains or blinds during the day to prevent the sun’s rays from turning your space into a sauna. Consider using fans or air conditioning units to circulate fresh air and maintain a comfortable temperature indoors. And don’t forget to close off rooms that aren’t in use to concentrate the coolness where you need it most!

Dive into Pools and Beaches!

Embrace the summer season by taking a plunge into refreshing waters. Whether you have access to a swimming pool or live near the beach, make the most of it! Splashing around not only provides a fun escape but also keeps you cool and refreshed. Grab your swimsuit, slather on some sunscreen, and dive headfirst into a summer adventure!

Summer may be sizzling, but with these sensational tips, you’ll be able to beat the heat and make the most of the sunny days ahead. Stay cool, have fun, and enjoy everything this summertime has to offer!

UK Could See No Hot Summer Weather Until Mid August

Jul 17 2023

According to the Met Office, the United Kingdom will very unlikely experience any hot summer weather for a whole month until the middle of August.

With Europe undergoing raging heatwaves, forecasters are expecting rain showers as well as some intense winds sweeping across the country.

Met Office spokesperson Grahame Madge said that there is no forecast signal for temperatures to reach as high as 40 degrees Celsius until mid-August.

This also comes after the UK experienced the hottest June on record, but despite July expected to be hotter than usual, these worries won’t come to fruition just yet.

The Met Office said an Atlantic low-pressure system is bringing “unseasonably” strong winds, and heavy rain or showers to many places across the UK over the coming days, which will keep the temperatures down.

Many experts are attributing this to intense climate change, seeing unusual weather patterns hit different parts of the globe, many suffering forest fires and record breaking heat.

Jason Micallef Explains Why He Won’t Attend Sofia Protest

Jul 17 2023

Taking to social media, Jason Micallef explained why he won’t be attending tonight’s vigil in honour of Jean Paul Sofia.

Micallef explained that whilst it is a fundamental right for people to protest for what they deem necessary and that he defends this right to the last breath, he won’t be attending due to individuals and organisations exploiting any cause or tragedy for their own agenda.

‘Our country is wonderful because it protects the right to protest in such a way. The beauty of protest is that, genuine people from different sectors of life, come together with one goal.’

‘There are those who do not bother using anything to protest against the government of the day. Those whose only cause is to acquire power at any cost, including using human tragedies to do so.’

This warranted a response from Isabelle Bonnici, Jean Paul’s mother, who said that the vigil for her son is inviting everyone. ‘Death has no colour. No one will be speaking at the vigil except for a poem and a few words from the cousins of Jean Paul.’

‘I organised this vigil and I accepted the help from wherever it came. The goal is pure and genuine. We want the facts so that our children do not continue to die and many understood this. All I want is a candle so that love remains alight. I appreciate if we are clear and honest. Thank you.’
