Don't go out in just your cozzie with no sun cream on. You will probably die.
That's all.  ;D

I experienced a 52 in Cyprus about 15 years ago.
Even the locals downed tools and sat in the shade for a couple of days.
In fact, the only people out in the sun was the daft bastard brits  ::) :D

Ah Brits on holiday. The heat gets to them

http://www.theolivepress.es/spain-news/2018/08/03/british-lad-tried-to-take-a-poo-over-balcony-before-plunging-six-floors-in-spain-remains-in-critical-condition/


Here are twelve common sense tips for dealing with the heat.  http://www.theolivepress.es/spain-news/2018/08/03/12-ways-to-keep-cool-in-spains-killer-heatwave/

I would add to that buy a box fan - about twenty euros , handy if your hotel room doesn't have ceiling fan or air con.

Net result is the same... As soon as he is conscious, they will pop him full of pills and chuck him on the first Easyjet home as an Assistance Passenger*.

Incidentally your insurance company will also do this, and the ambulance that you expect to meet you will actually be a taxi waiting in the car park.  >:(

Too true that  ::) ;D
IIRC it was a heatwave that came across from Egypt for a couple of day followed by a full night heavy rain  :y
When the rain came, it felt like the full population of Ayia Napa was either on the streets of in bar pools celebrating and getting pissed in the rain  :D :D
Great night that from memory  ;D
