Today is expected to be one of the year's hottest days with the highest expected temperature being 28°C.

Today is expected to be a bright and sunny day with no clouds, strong winds, or showers expected.

Those who go out should be sure to take the necessary steps to keep themselves safe, such as: wearing suncream/hats and drinking plenty of water. If those who go out don't take the necessary precautions, they may suffer from heat-related illnesses — such as heatstroke or heat exhaustion — or dehydration, according to most NHS healthcare professionals and experts. If you feel poorly and you believe you're suffering from heat-related illnesses, call 111 to seek advice from the NHS. In an emergency, always dial 999/112, asking for an ambulance.

Today seems like a great day to spend some time on your local beach, enjoying the heat safely and remembering to take the necessary precautions (mentioned above) so that you don't become poorly or seriously ill.

I would like to thank the Met Office for their weather forecast, as this helped me write this article accurately.
