Rules around being 'semi-naked' during July heatwave

As the UK basks in a July heatwave with temperatures reaching record highs, many people will be searching for ways to stay cool.

Yesterday, temperatures soared, but the hottest UK day on record has been predicted for today, July 19 as the mercury is set to hit 40C. The Met Office has said it's possible that in isolated areas, highs of 41C could come today, making the country hotter than Jamaica, the Maldives and Barbados.

As people head out into the sun, women may opt to wear a bikini or men choose to leave the shirt at home - but what exactly is the law around what you can and cannot wear in the midst of the hot weather? There is no offence around being naked in public, if there is no intention to shock or upset others, Birmingham Live reports.
