With Grantham temperatures expected to reach 30 degrees this weekend, Lincolnshire Police has issued a hot weather warning.

A force spokesman said: "Whilst we want you to enjoy yourselves this weekend, it is worth remembering the dangers that the sunshine can bring.

"Babies, young children and older people are those most prone to illness when the warm weather comes. Therefore, we ask that you take measures to look after these categories of people.

"Issues of security may also arise, so it is crucial that you remember to lock your windows when you are not in the room and to lock the doors of your house when you are in the back garden.

"Doors to garages should be locked, particularly if the garage has a door through to the house.

"If you are a dog owner, it is essential that you do not leave your dog in hot cars. The temperature inside a vehicle can quickly rise, which may leave the dog at risk of distress and illness.

"Please stay safe when in or near open water - it can be extremely dangerous. Every year the police receive reports of people jumping into rivers, canals, lakes, reservoirs and quarries, and getting into difficulty."
