If you're heading to the beach, there are several ways you can protect yourself from sunburn, heat stroke and dehydration.

The NHS advises to drink plenty of fluids, wear loose, cool clothing and a hat and keep up to date with forecasts.

The Met Office added: "There can be serious health consequences from too much heat and vulnerable groups are particularly at-risk in prolonged hot spells."

Warm weather also brings fears of worsened symptoms for asthma and hay fever suffers.

This is because dry, hot conditions allows for the rise in pollen count.
