Parents Share Genius Toy Hack That Sends Kids To Sleep On Hot Nights

Monday was provisionally the hottest night on record.

With the heatwave in full swing, many of us are looking for ways to keep ourselves - and our little ones - cool.

And with last night looking to have been the hottest night on record, plenty of us in the UK will have struggled to sleep.

Thankfully, help is at hand if your kids are finding it hard to get some shut eye this week thanks to a handy freezer hack.

Parents are loving the idea, which was shared on Made For Mums, and it's so simple too.

Many of us have heard of popping our sheets in the freezer before bedtime, but now, people are suggesting taking your child's favourite cuddly toy, and placing that in the freezer, too.

You'll need to place the toy in a plastic bag before popping in the freezer - and be sure to remove the plastic bag before the toy is returned to your little one.

You can also try popping a pillow case in the freezer too, alongside a toy and any bed sheets.

According to the Met Office, last night may have been the warmest night on record.

Through Monday (18 July) night into the early hours of Tuesday morning, there were some areas that didn't fall below 25C.

Before this, the record for highest night time temperature had been 23.9C back in August 1990.

It's certainly a week of firsts, with this week being the first time a red heat warning has been issued.

The extreme temperatures carry a health risk to everyone in the UK, not just those who are typically more vulnerable to heat or those with existing medical conditions.

Extremely high temperatures could lead to 'population-wide adverse health effects' and a 'high risk of failure of heat-sensitive systems and equipment'.

This could potentially mean power cuts, and a loss of other vital services such as water could be on the horizon.

The Met Office warned that a heatwave of this magnitude will require 'substantial changes in working practices and daily routines' to avoid exposing people to health risks.

Large areas across England will continue to experience 'exceptional heat' today, with temperatures in the high 30s.

A temperature that high would surpass the existing record for the hottest day on record in the UK, as 38.7C was recorded in Cambridge on 25 July 2019.

Many will be pleased to know that temperatures are expected to drop from Wednesday.
