Five top tips for staying warm during the cold snap

Aim to keep the temperature of your main living room at 21C. The rest of your home should be heated to at least 18C.
Make sure you have plenty of warm drinks and hot meals.
If you are sitting down, use a shawl or blanket to keep you warm and try to keep your feet up, as the air is cooler at ground level.
Wear warm clothes in bed. When it’s very cold, wear thermal underwear, bed socks and even a woolly hat to prevent heat being lost from your head.
Use a hot water bottle or electric blanket to warm your bed.
