The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) has issued a beach safety warning - with temperatures set to hit 25C in the coming days.

Daniel Bedwell of the RNLI’s Water Safety Team, said : "We are expecting the coast to be extremely busy with this burst of warm weather. "We want everyone to enjoy being around the water but we also want to make sure people stay safe and know what to do in an emergency. "Always visit a lifeguarded beach and swim between the red and yellow flags.

Mr Morrison explained: "Rip currents, which are channels of fast-flowing water running out to sea, can be difficult to spot and can catch out even the most confident and prepared swimmers.
"If you find yourself being swept out to sea in a rip, try to relax and float until you are free from the rip and you can then swim to safety." Most.
