Those visiting the seaside should ensure they take the necessary precautions — such as applying suncream, looking out for others, wearing the appropriate clothing, and drinking plenty of fluids — to keep themselves and others safe from the extreme heat.
No showers or strong winds are expected today.
After this morning's clouds have disappeared, the skies are expected to brighten up.
Today seems like the perfect day to visit your nearest beach, particularly if you live close to one.
