Some parts of Britain are about to be hit by the first heat wave of this summer, where temperatures could reach 33 degrees Celsius.
Britons have been urged to follow the rules for dog owners in the wake of extreme heat over the Bank Holiday.
According to the animal charity RSPCA, they are vital in keeping our furry friends safe and healthy.
1. Move them early in the morning or late in the evening.
2. Test the warmth by placing your hands on the sidewalk first.
3. Never leave dogs in vehicles.
Steve Kochhar, deputy chief forecaster at the Met Office, said in a warning that Britain’s temperature record could be broken over the bank holiday weekend.
“Temperatures will rise over the weekend, especially in the south, where 30C is expected to be recorded on Saturday and 32C on Sunday.”
“Temperatures are forecast to peak on Monday when we could see 33°C across southern England and the Midlands.”
“It is likely that May and spring UK temperature records will be broken over the Bank Holiday weekend, with the forecast temperature exceeding the existing record of 32.8C.”
He added: “As well as warming, much of the UK will have very dry and sunny weather.”
“However, there will be more cloud and some rain over Northern Ireland and western Scotland during the weekend,” Kochhar concluded.
