The RNLI has warned of "large spring tides" over the heatwave weekend amid multiple rescue call-outs.
The warning comes as parts of Wales and England enter day one of the four day amber alerted heatwave. According to the Met Office, the amber 'extreme heat' alert means "more people are likely to visit coastal areas, lakes, rivers and other beauty spots leading to an increased risk of water safety and fire-related incidents".
RNLI Porthcawl has recently attended incidents caused by increased visits to the beach paired with the spring tides. Explaining the issue in a social media post, the RNLI said: "Please check tide times daily and take care in areas you can get cut off by the tide.
