THERE should be a ban on walking dogs in hot weather.
I see people walking their dogs when it's 27 degrees Celsius or higher.

It's not fair on the dog.
Their paws get burned from walking on a hot surface.
The dog owners should take off their shoes and walk on a hot surface all day.
If this could not happen then that would be great.
It's upsetting.

Warning issued as 'monster jellyfish' spotted on Merseyside beach
A "monster jellyfish" was spotted on the Merseyside coastline this week, with the local council offering advice to people visiting the beach as the hot weather continues. With temperatures rising across the region as we officially head into summer, it is common for jellyfish to appear in waters around Merseyside, including Sefton which is home to some of Merseyside's nicest beaches. But one beachgoer told the ECHO how they spotted what they described as a "monster jellyfish" on Crosby Beach. They said: "You couldn't move for jellyfish yesterday. Every 50 metres, there was another one.

Some of them were on the beach, and others were floating on the swash. I'd hate for anyone to get stung while swimming or walking." A council spokesperson told the ECHO it advises people to avoid touching jellyfish that appear on the shore and to keep dogs under close control. A spokesperson for Sefton Council said: 'It is common for jellyfish of varying sizes to be spotted along our coastline during the warmer months. "There are a variety of jellyfish that live in our seas and while some may be harmless, some can give a painful sting. 'While we can't know for sure the type of the jellyfish from looking at the photograph, most jellyfish found in the UK do not cause serious harm. 'However, we advise people avoid touching them and keep dogs under close control while enjoying our natural coastline.'

Charles and Camilla hoping runner will win at Royal Ascot
The King and Queen will be hoping to double their tally of Royal Ascot winners when their horse takes to the turf in a sprint race. Charles and Camilla have seen their racing hopes dashed twice this week when their much fancied thoroughbreds were well beaten. But Purple Rainbow will be running in the aptly named Sandringham Stakes over a mile and could add to the couple's first Royal Ascot winner in 2023. Racegoers have been given a respite for the moment from this week's sweltering conditions, with hazy cloud over the Berkshire race course keeping temperatures below Thursday's record highs. Will Aitkenhead, head of corporate and industry affairs at the track, said: 'Whilst there are no plans to ease the dress code at this stage, we are conscious of rising temperatures through the day and will monitor the situation. We will be handing out bottled water to guests on arrival and have worked hard overnight to provide more shaded areas.' The King and Queen were joined by Camilla's old school friend Lady Cavendish and her husband Lord Cavendish in their coach during the traditional carriage procession along the course. Among the guests travelling in the carriages were the former Emir of Qatar Sheikh Hamad, the Queen's Companion the Marchioness of Lansdowne and musical maestro Lord Lloyd-Webber. Princess Eugenie, her husband Jack Brooksbank and mother Sarah, Duchess of York were spotted in the parade ring alongside former defence secretary Ben Wallace and Zara Tindall when the royal procession arrived in the exclusive area. The late Queen was a passionate owner and breeder of thoroughbreds and had more than 20 Royal Ascot winners during her 70-year reign. Charles and Camilla have taken on her stable of horses and enjoyed their first Royal Ascot winner in 2023 when their horse Desert Hero triumphed in the King George V Stakes.

'It is not worth dying for a dip': Warning issued as temperatures soar
A warning has been issued over swimming in open water as temperatures soar. It is anticipated to push towards 30 degrees Celsius across the region today (Friday). And Greater Manchester Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) said they are urging people to be 'be careful around open water.' READ MORE: "I can't change it, but wow am I paying for it": Mum gets STUCK in Turkey after making 'worst mistake of my life' in hotel room while drunk with boyfriend READ MORE: Mum, 40, and daughter, 8, found dead at home as more details heard into tragedy GMFRS said there been four deaths in water in the last twelve weeks alone – more than caused by fire in the same time. They have attended 23 fatal water incidents since April last year and 65 since April 2020, they said. In a statement issued as part of Drowning Prevention Week, they said 'water is often a lot shallower than it appears, and hidden hazards lurk below the surface', and that cold water shock can be fatal, even to strong swimmers. They urged people who may get into trouble to 'float to live' and tilt their head back with their ears submerged and for bystanders or witnesses to 'call, tell, throw' - ring 999, tell the person to float and to throw something for them to grab on. Area Manager Billy Fenwick, Head of Prevention at GMFRS, said: 'It is vitally important that everyone knows, even strong swimmers, that there are always dangers with open water. Cold water shock can kill, and there are often hazards in water that are not seen from the surface. It is not worth dying for a dip. 'If you see someone in trouble in the water, remember: 'Float to Live'. "Always call 999 and ask for fire - or the coastguard by sea - if you see someone struggling in water, tell them to float and throw them a float aid if there is one nearby. 'We will be emphasising these messages throughout the summer and working with local communities and schools to get this across.' -- For the latest stories and breaking news visit Get the latest headlines, features and analysis that matter to you by signing up to our various Manchester Evening News newsletters here.
