Tourists enjoy the hot weather at the beach in Bournemouth on the bank holidayLast week's scorcher saw the hottest day of the year, with a sweltering 28.2C recorded at Santon Downham in Suffolk.
Rain and thunderstorms brought the heatwave to an abrupt end before yesterday's sizzler kicked off another blistering blast.Forecaster Greg Dewhurst said: "It's hotter than the Mediterranean at the moment and it's going to stay like it all week."It'll get even hotter as we approach the weekend with 28C possible on Sunday.
The RNLI and Coastguard said the Covid-19 lockdown, announced on March 23, forced it to halt its annual training and recruitment drive. It means Britain's 200 plus beaches are currently unmanned for the first time since the life-saving patrols were introduced in 2001.It is feared only 30 per cent of beaches - roughly 70 - will be covered by the peak Summer season.
