💨 Abstract

Young people are advised to avoid rivers and lakes this weekend due to a forecasted heatwave with temperatures up to 33C. Firefighters warn of increased water-related incidents, urging caution due to hidden dangers such as strong currents and cold water shock. London Fire Brigade has responded to over 280 such incidents this year. Educating young people about these risks and providing access to lifesaving equipment is crucial.
