Graduation warm weather advice

The warm weather is set to continue into next week and will coincide with Cardiff Metropolitan University graduation ceremonies being held at the Wales Millenium Centre (WMC). The health and safety of our graduates, guests and staff is our highest priority.

The WMC is air-conditioned, has ample seating areas, and drinking water is readily available for graduates, guests and staff. First aiders will be available as necessary.

Keeping cool if you’re attending graduation ceremonies

Dress for the hot weather and consider light, loose fabrics that will help keep you cool.
Try to keep out of direct sun between 11am and 3pm and walk in the shade where possible.
Apply sunscreen regularly and bring a wide-brimmed hat or umbrella and a handheld fan if you have one.
Whilst there is water at the venue, there may be queues, and we encourage you to bring plenty of water with you to stay hydrated throughout the day.
Consider your travel and parking arrangements in advance.

Further information on keeping safe in extreme heat is included on the Public Health Wales website.

If you are clinically vulnerable, feeling unwell or need additional support, please make yourself known to a member of staff at the information desk on arrival.
