Overheating happens when a device draws more power than its cooling system can safely handle. In **Southampton**, hot weather and sun exposure can push devices into **overheating** and cause **thermal throttling**. Common signs include a warm back, a sudden drop in performance, apps freezing, and temperature warnings.

Seasons in **Southampton** can be humid and warm, with heat waves along the **Solent** coast increasing ambient temperatures inside cars, offices, and homes. That means even everyday tasks on an **iPhone** or **MacBook** can trigger **overheating**.

What you can do now to cool things down:

- Keep devices out of **direct sun** and heat; move to shade or improve air flow.
- Avoid charging while the device is hot; unplug and let it cool.
- Remove bulky cases or wraps that trap heat and enable airflow.
