Charities have warned pet owners about the dangers of hot weather affecting animals ahead of a spike in temperatures this week. The RSPCA is urging dog owners to be aware of the dangers of walking their pets – especially ones with thick coats and underlying health conditions – during the warmer seasons.
The Blue Cross meanwhile urged cat owners to be careful when leaving windows open after a kitten fell from three storeys and fractured her leg. The Met Office predicted temperatures may reach above-average highs by Friday, with southern parts of the UK hitting 30C and 34C in certain spots.
Temperatures in Wales and the South West could jump to 25C, 28C in the North West and 27C in the North East.
