On Wednesday temperatures in the UK are expected to soar. Though this is unusual for those living in Britain – for many people in the world, hot weather is part of everyday life. So we’d like to find out the best ways to survive the heat?

If you happen to live, or have lived, in a hot country - whether that’s in Asia, Africa, or the Americas, we’d like to hear your tips. And if you’re in the UK, show us your photos of how you’re coping in the heatwave.

We’ll use the best contributions in our reporting.

You can share your tips and photos by clicking on the blue ‘Contribute’ buttons on this article. You can also use the GuardianWitness smartphone app or the Guardian app and search for ‘GuardianWitness assignments.’
