Australians are giving advice to British people on how to cope in extreme heat as the UK is set to record its hottest day in history. 

An Irish man living in London to to  to ask Aussies if they had 'any tips on how not to melt'.

The teacher explained the school they work in doesn't have air conditioning - like most buildings in the UK.

'Edit: it's worth adding I'm a teacher and will be in work in a building with no air conditioning,' he added.

Britain could be hotter than Delhi and the Sahara Desert on Monday with experts predicting the mercury could reach 41C - double the UK summer average. 

The UK's Met Office has issued the first ever red heat warning, with motorists urged to be wary of tyres melting and warping on the street.



Many Aussies advised making sure hats, sunscreen and water bottles are a requirement for all children and adults while others advised freezing towels to stay cool on the street. 

'I'm also a teacher and although we have aircon we do have a few things we regularly employ on those hot days to keep the kids cool,' one Aussie wrote.

 'First, hats, sunscreen and water bottles are a requirement, not optional (no hat, no play). Let kids wet their hats and fill up drink bottles as often as needed.
