With temperatures expected to hit 30 degrees Celsius today, a charity is urging people tempted to take a dip in open water to stay safe.
The weekend is also forecast to be fine, which has prompted the Canal and River Trust to issue a warning about water safety.
John Gibson, area operations manager for the Canal and River Trust said: “We’ve seen more people than ever relaxing and reaping the health benefits of spending time by water.
“We are welcoming people to the waterside but are particularly concerned about people enjoying a post-lockdown drink and then going for a dip, young people and children who could be unaware of the hidden dangers of swimming in our waterways.”
West Midlands Ambulance Service has also reminded the public to stay out of open water, despite the temptation as the hot weather hits us.
The emergency service shared on Twitter: "We cannot emphasise this enough.
"It's going to be hot, very hot and we know you'll all be looking for ways to cool down.
"Open water might look more appealing than ever, but PLEASE stay out - it is dangerous and claims lives every year."
