With summers getting hotter in Leicester, devices like smartphones, laptops, tablets and consoles can overheat more easily. In busy areas around the city centre — near Leicester Cathedral, the High Cross shopping area, and the Cultural Quarter around the Curve — hot days push gadget temps up and can throttle performance or shorten battery life.

To help prevent overheating, keep devices out of direct sun, avoid leaving them in a hot car, and give batteries a chance to cool before charging. If you're visiting Abbey Park, Victoria Park, or the People's Park area during a heatwave, carry a shade sleeve or a portable fan if you can. Limiting heavy gaming or streaming in the heat can also help.
